German Internet Panel

The German Internet Panel (GIP) is a survey infrastructure and long-term study conducted by the University of Mannheim. The GIP researches individual attitudes and preferences that are relevant in political and economic decision-making processes. For this purpose, more than 4,000 people across Germany are regularly interviewed online on wide range of topics since 2012.

In September 2026, the German Internet Panel has already conducted its 85th survey wave.

The bi-monthly GIP surveys include research questions from scientists at the University of Mannheim as well as research questions from external scientists.
