Since early 2024, Eurostat has added to its offer for researchers the microdata from the EU survey on gender-based violence against women and other forms of interpersonal violence (EU-GBV). Data from 17 Member States are currently available.
Eurostat revamped its website presenting publications with findings from the research projects using European microdata. The updated list, covering more than 1,000 publications, provides valuable insights on projects completed with the use of European microdata by showing the variety of research questions tackled and by helping researchers formulate new scientific questions and innovative research proposals. For each publication, a short description and a link to the research paper can be found, and information on the microdata used is also provided. The list can be used to filter and search according to the publications of interest to you.
The European Master in Official Statistics (EMOS) is a label awarded by the European Statistical System Committee (ESSC) to master’s programmes providing postgraduate education in the area of official statistics. It is a shared initiative by Eurostat, the European Statistical System (ESS) and the European System of Central Banks (ESCB). It aims to educate students in official statistics and data science, and to facilitate the exchange of knowledge and experience between the European producers of official statistics and lecturers, researchers, and students in this field. Should your university be interested in joining the EMOS network, there is a permanently open call.
New Techniques and Technologies for Statistics (NTTS) is an international biennial scientific conference series organised by Eurostat. The conference's purpose is to present the results from research and innovation projects in official statistics, and to stimulate and facilitate the preparation of new projects. The conference brings together academics, statisticians and data users while providing an opportunity for all researchers exploring topics relating to official statistics to present and discuss their research projects and findings. The call for abstracts is open until 30 September 2024. To learn more about the conference and its 2025 topics, look up its dedicated website.
In cooperation with Eurostat, the German Microdata Lab (GESIS) organises the European User Conference.
