*The German Emigration and Remigration Panel Study (GERPS) invites proposals for an open questionnaire module* GERPS provides an empirical basis for investigating the consequences of international migration across the life course. GERPS is based on a sample drawn from local population registers. GERPS covers German citizens between the ages of 20 and 70 who have either emigrated from Germany or remigrated to Germany during the period between July 2017 and June 2018. GERPS participants received a letter with an invitation to answer an online questionnaire mainly including questions about employment, family life, health, and social cohesion. GERPS is an official sister study of the German Socio-Economic Panel (SOEP). That opens potential for the comparison of migrant- and non-migrant populations. The first three survey waves have been finished. In the first wave about 11,000 online-interviews were conducted. At wave 3 there were still more than 6,000 emigrants and remigrants who participated in the panel. In a competitive call we offer space for researchers to include questions or short topical questionnaire modules in GERPS, wave 4. For more information see the attached call. The fourth wave is scheduled for fall 2020.
