In clusive G rowth R esearch I nfrastructure D iffusion • Funded under 7 th Framework Programme - Capacities (EU) • 17 academic and European partners • February 2013 – January 2017 • Project to integrate and improve an existing research infrastructure – Networking activities – Transnational access – Joint research activities for improvement www.inclusivegrowth.be www.inclusivegrowth.be 2

THE RESEARCH INFRASTRUCTURE  What is a Research Infrastructure (RI)?  What is the specific InGRID infrastructure?  Poverty as a theme within InGRID www.inclusivegrowth.be www.inclusivegrowth.be 3 3

What is a European Research infrastructure? HELPING HANDS Research infrastructure = – facility or platform – That provides (scientific) resources and services – to the scientific community – Aim: enable to conduct top-level research FACILITATING RESEARCH Supports scientists in research – to access, order, analyse, store and reuse – data and knowledge – in ways otherwise impossible www.inclusivegrowth.be www.inclusivegrowth.be 4

Facilitating what kind of research? Facilitating top-level research … Com- parative Social Policy- sciences related research Poverty &Living conditions Working conditions & Job Quality EU2020 European Inclusive growth strategy … Evidence-based policies www.inclusivegrowth.be www.inclusivegrowth.be 5

Knowledge infrastructure accumulated by European science EU-FP projects: RECWOWE, EQUALSOC, WORKS, GINI, ImPRovE, NEUJOBS, WALQING, MEADOW, EurOccupations, Woliweb, SPReW, WorkCare, RISQ, SAMPLE, Ameli Innovative data collections Harmonised classifications Users expertise official data/surveys Cross-country policy indicators Statistical simulation environments Standards of statistical and survey quality www.inclusivegrowth.be www.inclusivegrowth.be 6
