A lot is happening in Europe related to social science data, especially related to admin data + matching that with more trad. datasets. Many issues remain and successful examples are not numerous. But for anyone who wants to learn more, this is an event for you! #sociology #demography #econsky

A bit under three years left, let’s see what will be recommended. At the moment no one (funder or host institutes) seems to have a proper idea what do with these mega-funded things afterwards. If you ask me, we will just continue do the same but even more, the big question is in what format
