Data Centre
LISER has traditionally had a predominant position in Luxembourg with respect to the face-to face survey component. Its portfolio includes both administrative surveys for Luxembourgish and EU institutions as well as surveys used for research by internal researchers and external research collaborators.
Today, the Data Centre aims to collect data for scientific studies in order to make them available to researchers, political actors and other partners in society. Thanks to its expertise in survey methodologies and statistics, the Data Centre is a unique actor in Luxembourg for researchers and decision-makers in the development of research projects and actions on the field.
As a research infrastructure for data collection and archiving of social science data, the objectives of the centre are to:
- Support LISER researchers as well as the social sciences research community, both locally and internationally, through its unique data collection capability. By bringing operational and scientific expertise based on state-of-the-art, and innovative methods and technologies, the Data Centre contributes to the production of high-quality research and effective solutions to major challenges facing society.
- Offer a referenced and trusted platform with tools and services that enables both data producers and data users to easily share, find and access reusable and interoperable data. This is turn addresses the increasing needs of open science while being compliant with security, integrity and privacy of information at stake.

L’enquête sur Vie associative et le vivre-ensemble au Luxembourg en 2021 est un recensement. Chaque association inscrite dans le Luxembourg Business Registers (LBR) a été sollicitée pour remplir un questionnaire en ligne portant sur ses activités, le profil de ses membres (conseil d’administration, bénévoles, bénéficiaires et salariés) ainsi que sur son évaluation de sa contribution au vivre-ensemble. Les associations sont aussi invitées à s’exprimer sur les besoins en matière de bénévolat et sur les activités liées à l’intégration.
The Survey of Health, Ageing and Retirement in Europe (SHARE) is a research infrastructure for studying the effects of health, social, economic and environmental policies over the life-course of European citizens and beyond aged 50 or older from 28 European countries and Israel. SHARE is the largest pan-European social science panel study providing internationally comparable longitudinal micro data which allow insights in the fields of public health and socio-economic living conditions of European individuals
In collaboration with the Central Bank of Luxembourg (BCL), LISER is conducting the fourth wave of the Household Finance and Consumption Survey (HFCS) for the resident population and cross-border workers of Luxembourg.
The aim of the survey is to collect information on financial behaviour of the Luxembourg households such as consumption patterns, savings, and credit demand. The survey is conducted in parallel by the national central banks in all countries of the Euro Area. The results of the HFCS survey will feed both academic and policy-oriented research.
The survey will sample 20 000 resident households in Luxembourg and 20 000 households in France, Belgium and Germany with at least one cross-border worker working in Luxembourg. It will be available in four languages: English, French. German and Portuguese.
L’enquête recueillera les opinions des personnes en situation de handicap sur leur bien-être. Cette enquête contribuera au projet de réforme de l'ASP et alimentera l'analyse réalisée par le LISER dans le cadre de sa convention avec le Ministère de la Famille, de l’Intégration et à la Grande Région pour l'adaptation du système de financement de l'aide et de l'assistance aux personnes en situation de handicap et son adéquation par rapport aux exigences de la Convention des Nations unies relative aux droits des personnes handicapées. L'enquête sera réalisée avec la collaboration de FEDAS Plateforme Handicap auprès de 14 de ses membres qui offrent des services d’hébergement et des services d’activité de jour pour des personnes en situation de handicap.
