A COLLABORATIVE PROJECT Collaboration between 6 Research Data Centres from France, Germany, Netherlands and the UK to facilitate research use of controlled access data between these countries. (IDAN collaboration understanding 2020)
As a first step, we aim to enable researchers to work remotely on data provided by partner countries from within their local Research Data Centre, all access points being in the same physical location.
network progress
TOWARDS REMOTE ACCESS TO all partners from each partner’S PHYSICAL LOCATION.

IDAN top ten
The IDAN top ten is a list of the ten most used datasets of each partner. In this list, you can find the titles of these data sources, a link to their webpages, their general topics and small abstracts that describe each data source in general. These ten tops are only a small part of IDAN partner's rich catalogues that also offer potential for comparative research.
Data comparability The CASD and IAB have jointly published a report in which they assess the comparability of labor market data to which they provide access and they detail a comparison between two administrative data sources. (DOI: 10.5164/IAB.FDZD.2003.en.v1)
