Events
We run and jointly organize a variety of high-profile events in Bonn and other locations in Germany and abroad, with topics ranging from new developments in metadata standards to aspects of open access to research. In addition, we offer information and links to various international conferences [News Section] and meetings.

A new highlight in the series of IDSC events is the annual European DDI User Group Meeting (EDDI). Head of IDSC N. Askitas conceived and proposed EDDI. We now run the event jointly with GESIS. EDDI 09 is planned for 3 and 4 December 2009 at IDSC of IZA in Bonn.

In addition, we are host to the Open Data Foundation Europe 09 Meeting in April 2009. The Open Data Foundation provides a platform where members of different communities can come together and work on the alignment of technology standards and software tools which will promote transparency and the reuse of data at all levels of the statistical information chain.

IDSC hosts a number of other events such as the German Stata User Group Meeting 2009. These meetings provide in-depth presentations from experienced Stata users and experts from StataCorp, who focus on helping you use Stata more effectively.
