2. Concluding remarks and future work Concluding remarks Even if only two countries have been involved in WP2, the performed applications cover two important types of designsto deal with mode effects in MM surveys The results of the analyses performed within WP2 allowed to delineategeneral guidelines includingpossible risks and advantages of combining modes of data collection The general guidelines and discussion are a good starting point for all countries who plan to design their own methodological strategies to improve the quality of estimates produced in MM social surveys MIMOD project - Mixed-Mode Designs in Social Surveys Rome, 11-12 April 2019

3. Concluding remarks and future work Future work From a methodological perspective, alternative designs for which suitable mode adjustment estimators can be definedare expected to appear and contribute to the practical usability and theoretical validity of MM surveys At European level, suitable modes of collaboration should be identified to proceed with further developments (e.g. through a network of countries interested in continuing the research in the area explored within WP2) Standardization is difficult in this methodological context. However, outcomes of WP2 can be considered a first step to proceed towards the development of generalized tools (e.g. recommendations and/or best practices etc.) supporting ESS Countries in the methodological design of their own strategies in the area of MM surveys MIMOD project - Mixed-Mode Designs in Social Surveys Rome, 11-12 April 2019
