Dear colleagues,
please find attached a CFP for the 1st European User Conference:
"European Labour Force Survey (EU-LFS) and European Union Statistics on
Income and Living Conditions (EU-SILC)" in Mannheim next year March 5-6,
2009.
The European User Conference for EU-LFS and EU-SILC, which is organized
by the German Microdata Lab, GESIS, in cooperation with Eurostat, will
provide researchers who use these data with the opportunity to present
and discuss their work and share their experience.
Researchers of all disciplines (e.g. economics, demography, geography,
political science, public health and sociology) who use either EU-LFS or
EU-SILC micro data are encouraged to participate and to submit an
abstract. Substantive topics may include, among others, all aspects of
the European labour market, living conditions, and static or dynamic
aspects of income poverty and social exclusion. Methodological topics
may include e.g. questions of data quality, cross-national and
inter-temporal comparability, and statistical modeling.
Please also forward the CFP to your colleagues!
Deadline for submissions of abstracts is October 31, 2008. Please send
your submission to the local organizers of the conference:
Christof Wolf ([log in to unmask]) & Heike Wirth
([log in to unmask]).
Abstracts should not be longer than 350 words; the abstract should also
indicate the dataset(s) used and the countries analyzed. For any further
questions please contact the local organizers and visit the conference
webpage at http://www.gesis.org/EU-User-Conference/.
Best regards,
Heike Wirth
