Workshop for regional authorities
Evidence-based decisions in the public sector require a sound and reliable data framework. AUSSDA - The Austrian Social Science Data Archive provides a range of datasets drawn from social science survey programs that are of interest to many public administrations - for example on the topics of families, social affairs, housing, health behavior, labor market participation and much more.
We cordially invite you to learn more about the AUSSDA databases at this information event.

April 29, 2025, 13:00–17:00

Together with AUSSDA experts and scientists from selected research institutions, solutions can be developed to meet the data requirements of the federal states and municipalities.
