HELPING HANDSResearch infrastructure = facility or platformprovides resources and servicesto the scientific communityAim: enable to conduct top-level research
FACILITATING RESEARCH
Supports scientists in research
to access, order, analyse, store and reuse data and knowledgein ways otherwise impossible

International data archives/collections: integration of national data: f.e. LIS Data centre (income data) & CED institute (European census micro-data)EU-wide databases & indicator collections
f.e. SOFI (Sweden) & AIAS (Amsterdam)New data efforts or projects on working conditions and job quality:
f.e. WageIndicator project, Meadow approachInnovative ways to order and analyse data from official data providers f.e. EU-SILC, Eurofound surveys, national socio-economic panels and working conditions surveys
Standards for
harmonisation
of questionnaires, classifications & policy indicators
Simulation facilities f.e. EUROMOD

growing data gapsAdress the lack of harmonized longitudal dataAnswers for specific data challengesHard-to-identify vulnerable
groupsHard-to-reachEasy-to-reach => indicators
Slide18Pillar activities ‘Poverty & living conditions
’Joint research activities:
