Dear colleagues,
please find attached a CFP for the 2nd European User Conference (March,
31 - April, 1, 2011) in Mannheim..
The 2nd European User Conference for EU-LFS and EU-SILC, organized by
the German Microdata Lab, GESIS, in cooperation with Eurostat,
will provide researchers with the opportunity to present and discuss
their work. In addition to fostering the discussion within the research
community on both substantive and methodological issues,
the conference offers researchers the opportunity to give feedback to
the European Statistical System.
Given that the legal bases for EU-LFS and EU-SILC will be revised in the
near future the conference offers the unique possibility to discuss
needs and wants of the research community with Eurostat.
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, migration,
income inequalities, poverty and social exclusion. Methodological topics
may include e.g. questions of data quality, cross-national and
inter-temporal comparability, and statistical modeling.
All presentations must be comparative and include data from at least two
countries.
SUBMISSIONS:
The deadline for submissions of abstracts is October 31, 2010. Please
send your submission to the local organizers of the conference:
Christof Wolf ([log in to unmask]) and Heike Wirth
([log in to unmask]).
Abstracts should not be longer than 1000 words; the abstract should be
informative, indicate the dataset(s) used and the countries analyzed.
The submitters will be notified by January 15, 2011, whether their paper
was accepted for presentation or not.
For any further questions please contact the local organizers and visit
