Dear Colleagues,
On Thursday 23rd June 2005 we will be holding a 1-day introductory workshop on the Millennium Cohort Study (MCS) at the Institute of Education, University of London. This event, which is organized in association with the Economic and Social Data Service (ESDS), is designed both for researchers who are considering using data from the MCS in their work and for those in government departments and the voluntary sector who are involved in commissioning research. Issues to be covered will include: themes and content covered by the MCS1 survey; survey design, non-response and weighting of MCS sample; future surveys of MCS; accessing the MCS via the ESDS; introduction to MCS documentation and meta-data; and a practical session using the Idealist data dictionary and subsets of MCS data.
A non-refundable fee of £60 (£30 for HE students) covers a buffet lunch and workshop documentation.
A copy of the provisional programme and booking form for this meeting are available via the ESDS website:
