  1. 3rdData without Boundaries Training Course EU‐SILC longitudinal componentParis, 19-21 February 2014

  2. Introduction • Overviewof Data withoutBoundaries • Outline oftheCourse 3rd DwB Training Course

  3. Data withoutBoundaries -- DwBA European project to improve access to microdata from official statistics

  4. DwB: A European project • Improveresearcheraccess to (confidential) microdata from officialstatistics • This isachievedbybringingtwocommunitiestogether CESSDA: Council of Social Science Data Archives ESS: European Statistical System 3rd DwB Training Course

  5. The two Communities • ESS: the network of NSIs lead by Eurostat main objective: harmonize and enhance production of official statistics in Europe • CESSDA: umbrella organization for social science data archives across Europemain objective: improve access to data for researchers and students 3rd DwB Training Course

  6. Major characteristics of DwB • Began May 2011, total duration 48 months • Project lead: Roxane Silberman, RQ/CNRS • 28 partners • 12 work packages 3rd DwB Training Course

  7. Structure of DwB The work and work packages of DwB are organized into three blocks: • A: Front office: Building a single point of access and metadata issues • B: Access to OS microdata: accreditation, Eu-RAN feasibility, Secure Data Centre issues, calls for transnational access • C: Communication and training: promote discussions, increase knowledge and reach agreements 3rd DwB Training Course

  8. Block A: Front office • Collectinformation on OS microdata in Europe • Development of data models and metadata standards • Development of technicalsolutionstoharvest OS metadata from NSIs • Other standards and procedures • Implementation 3rd DwB Training Course

  9. Block B: Access • Legal issues in making confidential data available • Technical issues in developing Remote Access (RA) and Secure Data Centre (SDC) procedures • Standardizing RA and SDC procedures • Implementation of a test case • Programfor transnational accessto OS microdata 3rd DwB Training Course

  10. Block C: Communication and Training • Create and maintain the project’s website • Training courses for the usage of specific data sources (e.g. SILC, LFS, AES) • Workshops for staff in RA or SDC • Workshops preparing researchers to work in a RA or SDC environment • User conferences • Conferencesbetweendataproducersandarchivesaswellaswithdatausers (European Data Access Forum) 3rd DwB Training Course

  11. Vision for the Future:European Service Centre for OS Microdata

  12. Objectives To provide a comprehensive overview of available official data in Europe To provide structured metadata and user friendly routines for Eurostat data and census data 3rd DwB Training Course

  13. Mission • Comprehensive web service • Promote use of OS-microdata • Continuously improve data access 3rd DwB Training Course

  14. Mission 1 – Web Service • Web service will function as a one-stop-shop for researcher needs regarding European OS-microdata • This web service will be comprised of: a) extensive metadata for European OS-microdata b) An online library hosting technical reports, survey instruments and scientific papers on OS-microdata c) Routines for data preparation and analysis d) An interactive platform where users can seek advice from experts, discuss with other users and provide input 3rd DwB Training Course

  15. Mission 1 – Web Service 3rd DwB Training Course

  16. 3rd DwB Training Course

  17. 3rd DwB Training Course

  18. Mission 2 – Promote useof OS-data • Organize introductory and advanced training courses on methodological and substantive research questions based on these data • Host user conferences where researchers can present their findings, connect with other researchers and discuss data needs with producers • Incentivize research by implementing a research award, subsidizing data use for young researchers, etc. 3rd DwB Training Course

  19. Mission 3 – Improve Data Access • Broadening access to integrated European official microdata, e.g. Time Budget Survey, Census Microdata • Lobby for expansion of transnational access networks and harmonization of conditions of use throughout Europe • Assist researchers seeking transnational access by informing them on access conditions, access sites and application procedures 3rd DwB Training Course

  20. Current opportunities for researchers • On site access to official microdata across EuropeTransnational remote access to Secure Data Centres • European Users Conference • Training Courses 3rd DwB Training Course

  21. On site access to official microdata across EuropeTransnational remote access to Safe Data Centres • Continuingcallfor researchproposals • Grant transnational accesstoconfidentialdata;either on site (WP 9) or via remote access (WP 10) • Applicationisreviewedby a selectionpanel • Ifsuccessful, travelcostsandaccomodationarecoveredbyDwB Call closes October 15, 2014 3rd DwB Training Course

  22. European Users Conference DwBhelpsfinancethe European Users Conference for EU-LFS and EU-SILC; a biennialmeetingorganizedby GESIS in cooperationwithEurostat Offer a platform to discuss research findings and research needs EUC brings together researchers and data producers from all over Europe Next: Spring, 2015 in Mannheim, Germany 3rd DwB Training Course

  23. Training Courses Objective: Foster use of OS microdata by • Improving knowledge about microdata from official statistics in Europe and their potential for social research • Practicing data analysis using a major data source from European official statistics 3rd DwB Training Course

  24. Training Courses • Training courses will be conceptualized and conducted jointly by CESSDA members and NSIs or Eurostat • Courses are organized at different locations in Europe 3rd DwB Training Course

  25. Training Courses Next courses: • EU-LFS: September 2014, Ljubljana • Adult Education Survey, fall 2014, Athens • European censusdata, spring 2015, Barcelona • Training courses are conceptualized and conducted jointly by CESSDA members and NSIs or Eurostat 3rd DwB Training Course
