DwB Access Services

 

This section will provide a range of services for our stakeholder communities: the research community, the European Statistical System and the social science data archives. These aim at promoting and fostering the exchange of best practices, better understanding and common ground for both access to and provision of data from official statistics (incl. highly-detailed and anonymised microdata). The list of the DwB access services can be found below along with a short description of their content.

Legal Frameworks Visualisation



The DwB has developed a Visualisation Tool to demonstrate the potential and limitations to access (non) confidential data, while exploring the legal gateways for transnational access across the ERA. It elaborates on a number of case scenarios re. data access provision across several source types.

National Accreditation & Data Access Conditions



This database provides potential data users with a comprehensible overview of national accreditation procedures and conditions for accessing datasets (incl. highly-detailed microdata) from official statistics for research purpose. It is composed of country-based factsheets with direct links toward administrative documents, procedures and websites of European national data providers, based upon a web investigation from the DwB team.

Transnational Access 2012–2015



The DwB team selected 40 research projects from high quality research proposals received in eight calls in 2012–2014 to be supported through the project. This section gives an overview of the outcomes, selected proposals, research data centres involved and the data available as well as the selection process. Some of the participants were interviewed about their experience. The data centres continue providing transnational access to their data, but there is no financial support available from the DwB.
