Scientific survey on public acceptance of reforms/ Researchers' stand is located at the entrance area of the Cinespace cinema.

Public projects cost money, i.e. the money of taxpayers. Major social projects thereby have numerous financing aspects. How are those projects, in turn, perceived and evaluated by the citizens? This is the question which is addressed by researchers of the Centre for Social Policy Research of the University of Bremen during the upcoming week from the 17th to 22nd of November 2014. In doing so, they are going to conduct a survey among customers and pedestrians at the Waterfront shopping mall in Gröpelingen. "We would like to know which aspects of justice are considered among the public with regard  to the financial burdens of major public projects", says the Project Director, Professor Stefan Traub. Participants, who will remain anonymous, are supposed to conduct simple decision tasks during a fifteen-minute computer-based interview. The hereby obtained results and data sets will then be analyzed and evaluated by the researches in order to explain the acceptance and effects of reforms.

As a reward, each participant will be remunerated with five euro. Additionally, all participants have the chance to win a lottery prize of up to 160 euro in cash. Professor Traub and his team will set up their booth in front of the Cinespace Multiplex cinema inside the shopping mall and will be available daily from 10.00 a.m. till 8.00 p.m..
