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.
Since January 2022, Eurostat offers researchers (affiliated with accredited research entities in Europe) a solution to access remotely the secure use files of Community Innovation Survey (CIS) and Structure of Earnings Survey (SES). So far, this was only possible on site in the Eurostat safe centre. In order to be granted remote access, research entities have to follow the accreditation procedure.
The Commission launched a public consultation on ways to make European official statistics fit for the future. The results of the consultation will inform the revision of the rules governing the development, production and dissemination of European official statistics (Regulation (EC) No 223/2009 on European statistics). The consultation seeks responses from both users and producers of official statistics and is open until 25 October 2022.

In 2021, a new general framework regulation covering all official European sample surveys of persons and households entered into force. This affects seven official microdata sets for scientific purposes released by Eurostat, starting with 2021 labour force survey (LFS) and statistics on income and living conditions (EU-SILC) datasets.
