Dear colleague,
we would like to draw your attention to a
DwBİ\Training Course: Working with data from official statistics in Europe
particularly the European Union Labour Force Survey
Ljubljana (Slovenia), 17İ\19 September 2014,
hosted by Statistical Office of the Republic of Slovenia and
Social Science Data Archives at the University of Ljubljana
One of the core objectives of Data without Boundaries is to promote the use of integrated official
statistics in Europe. The Data without Boundaries project seeks to inform the research community on
possibilities for application and the potential for social enquiry of official European microdata.
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.
The course will take place in Ljubljana, Slovenia from the 17th
to the 19th
of September 2014 and will
consist of the following parts:
Part I: Overview of European Data from Official Statistics
Part II: Introduction to LFS
