The aim of the call was to support research projects in the social sciences based on new quantitative-based research, with the aim of studying society as a whole, as well as the social impacts of a given phenomenon.

The evaluation process of the 213 proposals that met the eligibility criteria has been carried out by social science academics with expertise in quantitative methodologies. The evaluation is blind: the evaluators do not know the identity of the applicants, they only have access to the submitted project, which in turn is completely anonymous.

The projects finally selected were as follows:

• The antiprejudice norm in times of growing immigration
