The Barometer on Ethnic Relations (BER) was planned as a series of periodic sociological studies, focused on topics such as:
 monitoring and assessing the situation of ethnic groups in Romania
 self-perception and the perception of otherness
 the dynamics of different ethnic groups' representations and stereotypes
 building and assertion of ethnic and national identities; knowledge and impact of public policies in the field of ethnic minorities in Romania
 public discourse in different contexts and situations involving the minorities.

The program is primarily address to decision and policy makers as well as the research community worldwide interested in interethnic relations of the region. The secondary target groups, no less important though, is the public. Through the media, the public will be able to freely learn from the conclusions of the research.

Assuring top-level reliable data gathering process, an agency with considerable experience in working with large samples covering multiethnic regions of the country will implement the data collection and primary analysis. In order to assure the reliability of the data a third party independent institution will perform control over the data gathering and data entry.

The research outcome will be presented to the public organizing press conferences. The data will also be available both on rough database and analyzed charts on the web site of EDRC (www.edrc.ro).
