  6. Organisational Settings n = 11 Data Archives IASSIST Edinburgh, 2005: Session “Transforming National Data Services”

  7. Current Situation • Small budgets • Lack of accumulated resources, expertise and personnel • Small data collections • Need for special training IASSIST Edinburgh, 2005: Session “Transforming National Data Services”

  8. East European Data Archive Network EDAN was founded at the UNESCO workshop “Social Science Data Archives in Eastern Europe” in 2002 • Informal network designed to unite data archives which are at an early stage of their existence and share common problems • Data Archives from Hungary, Estonia, Slovenia, Latvia, Romania, Czech Republic, Slovakia Bulgaria, Poland • Data Archive Initiatives in Lithuania, Serbia, Ukraine IASSIST Edinburgh, 2005: Session “Transforming National Data Services”

  9. EDAN: Aims • Make sure that the Eastern European data archives will catch up with the advanced western data archives • Coordinate efforts for setting up new archives • Close co-operation with IFDO and CESSDA EDAN Coordinator: GESIS Service Agency Eastern Europe/Central Archive IASSIST Edinburgh, 2005: Session “Transforming National Data Services”

  10. EDAN Activities • Workshops on meta data production (Sofia 2003, Ljubliana 2004) • Joined applications to funding organisations (EU, ESF) • Exchange of knowledge and experiences (Mailing list) IASSIST Edinburgh, 2005: Session “Transforming National Data Services”

  11. Prospects (1) Creating a European Infrastructure for Social Sciences Integrate EDAN activities under CESSDA umbrella “New Archives Group” Open to CESSDA members as well as to those archives and archive initiatives which are working on becoming a member IASSIST Edinburgh, 2005: Session “Transforming National Data Services”

  12. Prospects (2) New and small data archives need: • Encouragement and aid of CESSDA (general guidance, advanced seminars etc.) • and • Assistance and support of a group (network) which shares the problems of the beginners: lack of accumulated resources, expertise and personnel, no participation in previous CESSDA projects. IASSIST Edinburgh, 2005: Session “Transforming National Data Services”
