Our Services
Research Design
We design research frameworks to address specific questions and challenges. Our team ensures methodological rigor while adapting tools to your unique goals. From defining hypotheses to selecting data collection methods and to assembling a team of researchers, we provide full guidance of the research
Survey Experiments
We design and conduct survey-based experiments to capture causal relationships and measure attitudes. This method helps test how different framings, messages, or policies affect public opinion. We reveal not only what people think, but also how attitudes and behaviors can change
Content Analysis
Our experts analyze texts, speeches, media outputs, and online discussions to identify patterns and trends. Using both qualitative and quantitative techniques, we uncover hidden narratives, themes, track framing strategies and understand how discourse shapes public opinion
Media Monitoring
Information moves fast - we help you keep up. Our monitoring system tracks media and digital platforms, showing emerging debates, dominant narratives, and their potential impact on your field
Trainings & Workshops
We offer practical training sessions and interactive workshops for researchers, journalists, business and civic actors. Our workshops build skills in research methods and design, data analysis, and media literacy — always adapted to your needs

Life In War Survey (LIWS)
At the beginning of the full-scale invasion, KSE University organized a panel study. We surveyed the same people a few weeks before the war and several months after. The dataset captures changes in the attitudes of Ukrainians across a wide range of social indicators (trust, values, religiosity, etc.). At the link, you will find a brief description of the study, the codebook, and the complete datasets.
