> Infrastructures Programme of the European Commission.
> Now in its fourth year, it was set up to help researchers gain access to
> existing ISER and Data Archive facilities by providing travel and
> subsistence support for short-term visitors. More information on ECASS,
> ISER, the Data Archive and the Essex Summer School can be found at the

> longitudinal household panel studies and time budget studies.
