Better International Research

IRIS helps Environics – and our clients – gain access to research participants in most regions of the world. We also benefit from in-country colleagues’ knowledge of local markets, culture, customs, and context. IRIS also connects us with:

handshake

Trusted colleagues

As collaborators (not competitors), IRIS members share openly. Discussing strategies, methods, tools, and trends across borders helps us deepen our global insight and adopt leading practices more quickly.

interview

Cultural learning

Each semi-annual meeting features a different host city, with locals guiding visiting colleagues in explorations of local history, food, business, and culture.

survey

Knowledge exchange

IRIS members build and continuously maintain international research capabilities, regularly collaborating on projects and participating in employee exchanges. This active, regular collaboration lets us give clients rapid access to timely information and contacts.

Better Solutions For You

Our association with IRIS means that we can provide a local perspective when interpreting international data. It ensures that the nuance and subtleties across cultures and countries can be integrated into the conclusions and recommendations we provide to clients. This collaboration with researchers around the world allows us to rapidly integrate new or culture-specific methodologies into our work so that clients have the most powerful approaches working for them. This is particularly important for international work. It is also beneficial for work exclusively within Canada since so many residents were born in another country.

Global Public Confidence Study.

In 2023, IRIS launched its Global Public Confidence Study to track public sentiment on the most important issues of the day. The project aims to understand:

Public assessments of the economy and personal finances

interview

Levels of confidence and concern about climate change

survey

Perspectives on the state of healthcare systems

For the 2023 wave, nearly 19,000 people were surveyed across 27 countries (18,688). Fieldwork was completed during February, March, and April 2023 (with one additional country added in June). A nationally representative sample of 500 to 1,000 adults was interviewed in each country. Data were collected online in 25 countries, by telephone (CATI) in Turkey and in-person (TAPI) in Bulgaria.

 

 

Global Reach

IRIS is one of the world’s largest networks of independently owned research institutes. With offices around the world, the network enables researchers to perform better, more deeply informed global research. Environics clients get local expertise and insight from senior researchers across the network who are directly involved in projects. IRIS companies typically have regional expertise and connections, expanding our reach into markets beyond those represented directly through the network’s 30+ members:
