Data without Boundaries organizes in cooperation with Eurostat a series of three day training courses on integrated Eurostat datasets.
This first course particularly focussed on the European Labour Force Survey (EU-LFS) and was hosted by GESIS (Mannheim); other partners involved in this course were UK Data Archive (Essex), Réseau Quetelet (Paris), Institut National de la Statistique et des Etudes Economiques (Paris) and Eurostat (Luxembourg).
The course was aimed at post graduate and senior researchers from throughout Europe who are seeking to conduct research on the basis of the EU- LFS. Besides highlighting the legal and administrative aspects of data access the course demonstrated the possibilities of the EU-LFS in a hands-on computer session which explored the potential for both international as well as longitudinal analysis by using multivariate statistical methods and SPSS/Stata.
