About IDSC
About
The International Data Service Center (IDSC) of the Institute for the Study of Labor (IZA) is the organizational unit of IZA which fulfills the data needs of not only IZA but also its various affiliated communities (Research Fellows and Affiliates, Policy Fellows etc.) and the associated research community at large. Since data is at the core of the Institute’s work, IDSC is a major contributor to its vision of a virtual institute.
Organization
The IDSC calls upon the Institute’s resources and the collective expertise of the interdisciplinary Data Committee as well as the guidance of the Scientific Advisory Board.
