Abstract With the ESSnet DCSS project coming to an end, this presentation has the purpose to reflect on the results of the cooperation over the past two years. Many countries in the ESS plan to introduce web as part of their mixed-mode designs for social surveys, and based on the findings of the project there seems to be no fundamental reason to advise against this strategy. The presentation discusses several advantages and disadvantages of mixed-mode approaches for social surveys based on the findings of the project. In 2014, many of the important challenges identified at the beginning of the project still remain. These include web questionnaire design issues, such as, finding effective uses of instructions to explain complex statistical concepts to subgroups among web respondents or devising optimal navigation for complex household questionnaires. Also many IT-related challenges continue to exist or have become even more relevant, such as finding a strategy to deal with respondents wishing to complete web questionnaires on mobile devices or the development of good software solutions for case management in mixed-mode designs. Towards the end of the presentation, several ideas for potential future cooperation within the ESS on these matters are discussed.
