Introduction • The FDZ offers highly detailed microdata on individuals and establishments • Data must be stored at the facilities of the data provider for legal reasons • IAB provides a number of locations for on-site use in order to ease access to data • Each of them are safe centres • To access data in Nuremberg these locations use secure remote access connections

Organisational Structure – Focus on US • Home RDC (Nuremberg) • General permission and contract • Provision of data • Output control • Guest RDC (Ann Arbor) • Physical admission control • Coordination of guest stays and local requirements • Currently: Support for researchers by a FDZ staff member

  6. Challenges • Additional requirements for data security and confidentiality, e.g.: • Human Subject Review (ethics commission) • German law for the data stored in Germany but • access facility and researchers are under US-law • Differences in the legal systems (historical background) • Different departments are involved on both sides this results in a lot of coordination work

  7. Summary • Overcome organisational and legal obstacles it is hard but possible • There is demand for data form foreign countries if it is access able • A first step to ease international and comparative research • More locations will be available in Europe and the US in the near future
