To this aim Data without Boundaries, in cooperation with Eurostat, is organizing a series of three day training courses on integrated Eurostat datasets. Courses will provide information on available microdata in Europe as well as ways to access these data. This fourth course will focus on the European Union Labour Force Survey (EUİ\LFS). The training is hosted by the Statistical Office of the Republic of Slovenia and the Social Science Data Archives at the University of Ljubljana; other partners involved in this course are Eurostat (Luxembourg), GESISİ\Leibniz Institute for the Social Sciences (Mannheim), R¨Ĥseau Quetelet (Paris) and INSEEİ\Institut National de la Statistique et des Etudes Economiques (Paris). The course is aimed at post graduate and senior researchers from throughout Europe who are seeking to conduct research on the basis of the EUİ\LFS. Besides highlighting the legal and administrative aspects of data access the course will demonstrate the possibilities of the EUİ\LFS in a handsİ\on computer session which will explore the potential for both international as well as longitudinal analysis. Basic understanding in multivariate statistical methods and SPSS will be required.
