When the funding rate is too low, increase it.

Due to the high number of extraordinary proposals for the 2025 LISS panel Grant, ODISSEI and Centerdata have decided to award additional projects 🌟

The grantees will explore themes surrounding domestic gender imbalances, political polarization, and more. Read more here: edu.nl/nv8x4

I have been thinking about exactly this. I think, as Michel said, the best solution would be to have a fairly lightweight code orientated model run on the internal system but it would be compute intensive.

I think the impact would be huge though.

From medical imaging to building sustainable research tools 🛠️

Great job available at @odissei.bsky.social: Chief Technology Officer. This position provides an opportunity to help create the future of computational social science: www.eur.nl/en/working-a...

What if you could combine the strengths of digital trace data and large scale representative surveys?

Really clear demonstration of the insights offered and new research lines that are opened up when infrastructure breaks structural barriers between data ecosystems.

Great paper

Normally if you just walk into a Boots Pharmacy they will be able to provide a short supply of most medications if you bring the existing box.

Also if you just ring 111 they will be able to give you detailed info.

All can be done without being a registered NHS patient

Also 5) @michelebelot.bsky.social was my Econ lecturer when I did PPE 20 years ago and helped shape my understanding of micro-econ and what it covered.

3) linking child educational outcomes to parental work conditions shows high data interoperability

4) Even in incredibly messy and selective processes identification is possible.

This is a very interesting paper for me in so may ways:

1) using Dutch admin data without any Dutch affiliations on the paper is a sign of good accessibility

2) linking details in CAOs with individual level admin data is really powerful

Every year at this time we make the long migration to 🇨🇿 for 🎄. We don’t fly so it normally takes 14 hours or more with two kids.

However the @europeansleeper.eu gods have smiled on us and we can now get a direct sleeper train from The Hague to Prague!!

This should be normal

Oh I was joking 😀. Looking at the report it is a specific drop in data availability for SDG's (Goal 11 & 13) and for data infra (on financial data specifically). Does't look like anything systemic but if it isn't corrected or bounced back next year, I'd be more worried.
