'Research in Germany' Reception at the American Sociological Association Annual Meeting 2011
8/21/11
Location: Las Vegas, NV, USA
Longitudinal Data Resources for the Social Sciences
SOEP (The German Socio-Economic Panel), SHARE (Survey of Health, Ageing and Retirement in Europe), PAIRFAM (The German Family Panel), and NEPS (National Educational Panel Study) are the four major large-scale longitudinal studies in German social sciences that provide a unique data infrastructure on topics like inequality, aging, living arrangements, and education. These ambitious projects are forming a new basis for innovative, cross-national, and interdisciplinary research as they all make their comprehensive data available to the scientific community worldwide.
At the “Research in Germany” reception, the four longitudinal panel studies will jointly present their design and data. In short poster sessions they will demonstrate their potential for further analyses and new opportunities for collaboration with researchers in the United States.
The reception will be held on August 21, 2011, from 8 pm to 10 pm at the ASA Annual Meeting, Caesars Palace, Las Vegas, Meeting Room: Pompeian II., Promenade Level.
Attendance is open to all registered visitors and participants of the American Sociological Association Annual Meeting 2011.
