We would like to draw your attention to the following ESDS Government events.
Crime surveys user meeting
Tuesday 9 December 2008
Royal Statistical Society, Errol Street, London, EC1Y 8LX
This meeting was previously referred to as the British Crime Survey user
meeting but we have now extended it to other crime surveys.
The meeting will provide a forum for the exchange of information and views
between users and producers of the Government Crime and Victimisation Survey
datasets. It is aimed primarily at users and potential users of survey
microdata.
The morning will include presentations giving updates on the British Crime
Survey, Scottish Crime and Justice Survey and the Offending Crime and
Justice Survey. The afternoon will consist of research papers based on the
crime surveys.
The meeting is free to attend and lunch is provided. To view the programme

Britain in a European Context - Research Data Resources
Humanities Bridgeford Street, University of Manchester
Friday 7 November 2008
Understanding the UK increasingly requires an understanding of our place in
Europe. This workshop will introduce participants to the major data
resources that enable researchers to explore these relationships and influences.
The one day workshop, aimed at social science research staff and students,
will discuss the data resources available for the analysis of the UK at a
national level and within a European context. It will include presentations
on accessing British survey data and international comparative data from
surveys, including issues relating to accessing data from Eurostat, and will
explore the range of international time series data available from
intergovernmental organisations such as the World Bank and International
Monetary Fund. We will also be looking at the methodological, statistical
and technical issues associated with combining data from these different
sources. In the afternoon, participants will have the opportunity to gain
practical experience in accessing and exploring the data and related
resources in hands-on sessions.
The workshop is free to attend and is open to all. To view the programme and
book a place please go to http://www.ccsr.ac.uk/esds/events/2008-11-07/
