What is a European Research infrastructure?
HELPING HANDSResearch infrastructure =
– facility or platform– provides 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

The InGRID Research Infrastructure
• International data archives/collections: integration of national data: f.e. LIS Data centre (income data) & CED institute (European census micro-data)
• EU-wide databases & indicator collections f.e. SOFI (Sweden) & AIAS (Amsterdam)
• New data efforts or projects on working conditions and job quality: f.e. WageIndicator project, Meadow approach
• Innovative ways to order and analyse data from official data providersf.e. EU-SILC, Eurofound surveys, national socio-economic panels and working conditions surveys
• Standards for harmonisation of questionnaires, classifications & policy indicators
• Simulation facilities f.e. EUROMOD

THE InGRID PROJECT
Key objectives and activities Transnational access: how it works? Description of work in the 4 pillars/clusters Project activities to structure the sustainability of the
infrastructure
www.inclusivegrowth.bewww.inclusivegrowth.be 11
Inclusive Growth Research Infrastructure Diffusion
Objectives• Integrate and innovate existing European social sciences
Research Infrastructures on • Poverty and living conditions• Working conditions and vulnerability
• by improving: • Transnational data access• Organising mutual knowledge exchange activities • Improving methods and tools for comparative research
• In order to create new and better opportunities for development of evidence-based European policies on Inclusive Growth
www.inclusivegrowth.bewww.inclusivegrowth.be 12
About the project
17 partners in a consortium
3 types of activities:• 18 Summer schools & 12 expert workshops• 250 Visiting grants to data infrastructures• Joint research
Clustered in 4 themes: • Poverty and living conditions• Working conditions and vulnerability• Social policy analysis• Statistical quality management
www.inclusivegrowth.bewww.inclusivegrowth.be 13
Pillar: Transnational access
Acces to 13 European Research Infrastructures • Access to infrastructure• Guidance and training of experts
Data infrastructures – Data expert centersLIS Luxembourg Income Study
LWS Luxembourg Wealth study Data base (part of LIS)
IECM Integrated European Census Micro-Data
Eurofound European Working Conditions Survey, European Quality of Life Survey, European Company Survey

Pillar: Working conditions & vulnerability research
• Context – EU2020 stategy: new skills for new jobs initiative & ESCO– Harmonisation – Disorganised statistical system
• Main challenges: – Comparison & harmonisation of job quality indicators,
occupational health and savety indicators and Laeken indicators
– Measurement of working conditions of vulnerable groups– Address lack of tools to identify new jobs and new skills
www.inclusivegrowth.bewww.inclusivegrowth.be 22
Pillar activities ‘Working conditions & vulnerability’
Joint research activities • Create tools for harmonising the measurement of
occupations EU-wide• Tools to detect and classify new jobs and new skills in
WC & OHS surveys• Inventories and reviews considering WC & OHS
(web-based platform)• Identifying determinants of vulnerability connected
with economic changes and employers’ behaviour and mapping vulnerable groups in work
www.inclusivegrowth.bewww.inclusivegrowth.be 23
Pillar activities ‘Working conditions & vulnerability’
Networking activities• 4 training events on advanced labour studies• Expert workshops
– Tools for harmonising the measurement of occupations
– Tools to detect and classify new jobs and new skills in surveys
– Use of linked employer-employee data– Job quality indicators
