An access to major international datasets together with scientific and methodological support.

An access to major international datasets together with scientific and methodological support.

A key activity of the InGRID project is providing transnational access to research infrastructures with data and expertise within the fields of poverty and living conditions, working conditions and vulnerability, social policy analysis and statistical quality management for social sciences. Researchers working and living within the EU member states (or associated countries) are invited to apply for free-of-charge access to and support in one of the 13 research infrastructures.

Next to access to statistical competence centres with expertise in social science statistical research, access will be granted to major surveys and tools such as LIS, LWS, IECM, SPIN, CSB-MIPI, WISCO, ICTWSS, EWCS, ECS, wage indicator data, EUROMOD, ... in research infrastructures with extensive experience in working with these data.

Via short and long-term visiting grants (between 1 week and 1 month), researchers can experiment with and work on data in a context of mutual knowledge exchange and cross-fertilisation.

LISER proposes an expertise in comparative analysis, poverty (monetary and non-monetary) and inequality analysis, expertise in microsimulation (static and dynamic), including micro-macro linkage through its transnational access to IRISS.

IRISS provides support for analysis and on-site access, under strict confidentiality rules (see “Relevant issues” below), to the following datasets: Survey of Health, Ageing and Retirement in Europe (SHARE), Household Finance and Consumption Survey (HFCS), European / World Values Study (EVS, WVS), Programme for International Student Assessment (PISA) and Cross-border mobility in Luxembourg (EMF).

EU-SILC and ECHP data are also available at LISER. Access to these data will be provided in line with Eurostat data access requirements.
