Support for transnational access to official microdata - call for research proposals under the FP7 EU project "Data without Boundaries" (DwB)
Highly detailed or "confidential" microdata from other countries are often not available for research purposes. Or, if they are available, researchers have to go through diverse national accreditation processes and self-finance their access. To enhance access across borders to official microdata for comparative research, DwB gives you the unique opportunity to work with data from a number of European countries.
Please look for details under

We would like to announce the 10th German Stata Users Group Meeting to

Group Meetings.)
We are very delighted that Patrick Royston (University College London)
and Maurizio Pisati (University of Milano Bicocca) have accepted our
