Generations & Gender Programme Newsletter No. 53 | November & December 2019

Funding for Data Collection in Germany

The German national application for funding was successful! The German

Federal Ministry of Education and Research approved the proposal

for "Family Research and Demographic Analysis (FReDA)". This means

Germany will start to collect data for the next round of the GGS in 2020. We

congratulate the German consortium and our colleagues at the Federal

Institute for Population Research (BiB).

Application for the ESFRI Roadmap - Update

The GGP will be applying to join the European Strategy Framework on

Research Infrastructures (ESFRI) 2021 roadmap. The ESFRI roadmap is a

strategic document that identifies vital research infrastructures in Europe. By

being successful in joining the ESFRI roadmap will signal that the GGP

achieved high standards in terms of scientific excellence and maturity.

New GGP Consortium Members

We are happy to announce that the

University of Zagreb and the

Estonian Institute for Population

Studies have jointed the Consortium

Board of the GGP. As members of

the Consortium Board they will help

set the scientific direction of the GGP

and ensure that it is capable of

providing answers to many of the

most pressing demographic research

questions.

Task Force - Longitudinal Questionnaire

On 11th November, Anne

Gauthier (NIDI), Tom Emery (NIDI),

Peter Lugtig (University of Utrecht),

Trude Lappegard (University of

Oslo), Zsuzsanna Makay (Hungarian

Demographic Research Institute),

and Martin Bujard (BIB) met for an

intensive 1-day meeting to finalize

the longitudinal questionnaire. More

information on the questionnaire will

follow soon.

Theses using GGP data

The GGP is continuously looking to

find out more about how GGP data

are used. We are particularly

interested in hearing about Master's

and PhD theses completed in the

last five years and written in any

language that use GGS, Harmonized

Histories, and/ or FFS data.

Have you written such a thesis or do

you know of one? Please add the

thesis to the bibliography on the

GGP website (login required) or

send an email to ggp@nidi.nl.

Reminder - New GGP Citation Requirements

We have changed the way we would like users to cite the GGP data. Starting

from now, the following acknowledgment has to be included in all publications

using GGS data (wave 1, and wave 2):

"This paper uses data from the GGS Waves 1, and 2 (DOIs: 10.17026/dans-

z5z-xn8g, 10.17026/dans-xm6-a262), see Gauthier, A. H. et al. (2018) or visit

the GGP website (https://www.ggp-i.org) for methodological details."

If you recently had a paper published, do not worry about changing the way in

which data are cited but we would ask all users to adhere to this new citation

requirement moving forward. More information about the GGP data are

available here.

Scientific Advisory Board &

Steering Committee meeting

On 28th November, the Advisory Board and Steering Committee of GGP met at

the NIDI in the Hague. Triggered by the report from the GGP Central Hub,

discussions arose around issues pertaining to investments to further improve

data quality, future endeavors for a Pan-European benchmark study, and a

mixed mode design for the GGS. Moreover, the group examined the latest

version of the application for the ESFRI Roadmap in some detail and provided

feedback to the Central Coordination Team.

Consortium Board meeting

On 29th November, 26 representatives from 11 different member institutions

met at NIDI in the Hague for the annual Consortium Board meeting. During the

course of the day, the Consortium Board discussed the priorities of the GGP

Central Hub, the financial and governance reports, the GGP data catalogue

and fieldwork guidelines, the scientific and socio-economic impact of the

infrastructure and the application to join the ESFRI 2021 roadmap.
