CESSDA PPP Expert Workshop on Harmonisation Issues in Comparative Social Surveys, April 2008, Paris

 

In April 2008 a group of experts joined CESSDA PPP members in Paris to consider how to fill the need for a a common framework for documenting, distributing and applying the results of data harmonisation efforts. We are happy to be able to make a number of the presentations available for wider discussion.
