Eurostat is the official statistical service of the European Union. Here you can find statistical data about EU, but if you care just to have a quick idea about what's going on Europe, check the "100 basic indicators from Eurostat Yearbook 2001".

One of the most distinct International Research Organizations. Although there is the word "European" in its title, ESOMAR's activities are all over the globe. Esomar's headquarters are in Netherlands. If you are interested in opinion and market research, and you have the opportunity to attend one of ESOMAR's international conferences, don't miss the chance.

To be honest I preferred this site as it was before, because just a few months ago it turned into "Marketing Power", with a new interface. It's too marketing oriented for my tastes but full of information and easy to navigate.

If you're searching about qualitative marketing research, this is your place. Complicated and difficult job to do but interesting some times. Check out this site to learn more about qualitative marketing research methods.

Great site if you want to catch up with what is going on on the global research market. Useful also when seeking a job and very good in presentations of all new marketing research features (CAVI? What's this guys?)
