Researchers workshop

Workshop researchers 2006: A retrospect


20-04-2006

In advance of the conference on September 29th 2006, about 30 researchers met in a workshop held on January 27th 2006 at NWO in The Hague. The objective was to inform each other about their historical/demographic research ideas. This workshop was organized by NIWI-KNAW and DANS as part of the Dutch census digitization project.

During the workshop the following matters were discussed:

  • The project activities which were conducted, and led to the digitization of the population census and life courses,
  • The results of a user study of the Dutch census website,
  • ICT facilities for systematic table searching and the sharing of ideas through a virtual forum and collaboratory,
  • New developments on microdata services and the results of the Integrated Public Use Microdata Series (IPUMS) project, both presented by Statistics Netherlands, and
  • The researchers' contribution to both the conference and the proceedings to be published in 2007.
