Abstract: 
Over the past decade, crises have shaped public perceptions of the EU. This article examines the question of trust in a (democratic) institution by combining two large-scale surveys, the World Value Survey and the European Value Survey. Although the data do not include the most recent crisis, the pandemic and the war in Ukraine, they provide insights into how trust in the EU has evolved after the financial crisis of 2008 and the refugee crisis of 2015. It shows that the EU and its institutions still enjoy higher levels of trust than national governments. However, declining trust is a problem in Greece and Italy.
