Introduction: The IPUMS- IECM partnership • A global collaboratory to archive, integrate and • disseminate European census microdata to researchers
IPUMS-IECM Objectives 1. Preserve census microdata and documentation for all the countries in the world 2. Integrate microdata and metadata 3. Disseminate--without cost--extracts of samples to bona-fide researchers worldwide, regardless of country of birth, citizenship or residence. -Sustained, major funding 1999-2015 by: -National Science Foundation (USA) -National Institutes of Health (USA) -Accompanying funding since 2005 - Sixth framework programme -Seventh framework programme
