EURODATA Research Archive

The EURODATA Research Archive is an infrastructural unit of the MZES. The basic function of EURODATA is to support comparative European research at the MZES. The archive covers the whole of Europe and focuses on official statistics. Its core consists of tabular data (transnational, national and sub-national level) in the socio-economic and political domain. Via research projects (service projects and participation in projects of the research departments) , it develops comparative databases and meta-information systems on official statistics in Europe. The archive continuously monitors major developments of the European data infrastructure both in the field of official statistics (tabular data and microdata) and science-based survey programmes.
