European Social Survey received the prestigious Descartes Prize 2005 from Commissioner for Science and Research, Janez Potocnik at a high level ceremony in London. This is regarded as Europe's most
prestigious science prize, awarded annually by the European Commission for "excellence in scientific research". This year there were five winners from different disciplines, but this is the first time that a
social science and humanities project has ever won. We consider this an important breakthrough for the social sciences and humanities in Europe.
