Channel: CESSDA Training
Date: 14/10/2021

Ami Saji, SciencesPo and Dimitri Prandner, Johnnes Kepler University: Researcher Viewpoints The CESSDA DC and EMM (Ethnic and Migrant Minority) Survey Registry are both free online services that offer detailed and structured information (i.e. metadata) about existing social sciences research. These services are particularly well-positioned to serve as access points to reliable and high quality research pertinent to addressing real world challenges. 

During the CESSDA™ Roadshow on Migration, Ami Saji will illustrate how service providers and researchers are working together to make social sciences research, including those focused on migration, easier to find, access, and re-use. This event will also hopefully inspire new partnerships that will further efforts to untap the full potential of migration data. From there, Dimitri Prandner highlights the impacts of CESSDA and the EMM Registry in terms of valuable insights from a researcher perspective and how students can truly benefit from understanding what a good dataset is and how to discover data. 

With approximately 281 million people, or 3.6 % of the world’s population, currently living outside their country of birth, migration policies need to be based on reliable and impartial evidence.

As the leading Consortium of European Social Science Data Archives, CESSDA™ offers a wealth of resources for researchers, enabling them to use and re-use datasets and define their data management plan. The focus of the Roadshow on 08.10.2021 is to talk participants through the wonderful world of data, giving practical tips and sharing first-hand experiences with researcher and service provider viewpoints. The overall goal is to show how data and human resources combine to help the societies we live in become more inclusive so they can thrive on diversity.
