SERISS aimed to enhance Europe's research infrastructure for social science data collection and management.

Project Title

Synergies for Europe's Research Infrastructures in the Social Sciences (SERISS)

Funded by

This project has received funding from the European Union’s Horizon 2020 research and innovation programme under grant agreement No 654221. The EC is not responsible for the content of this site. Neither the EC nor the project beneficiaries are liable for any use made of the information contained herein or for the content of linked external websites or pages.

Duration

1 July 2015 - 1 August 2019

Goal of the project

Focused around three key themes – key challenges facing cross-national data collection, breaking down barriers between research infrastructures, and embracing the future of social sciences – SERISS will address issues relating to survey design and data collection, data management and curation from a collaborative, cross-national perspective. The project will better equip Europe’s social science data infrastructures to play a major role in addressing the key societal challenges facing Europe today and ensure that national and European policymaking is built on a solid base of the highest-quality socio-economic evidence.
