About the Conference
Societal and social developments can only be understood and explained with the help of good and up-to-date data. Therefore, the availability of data is a crucial prerequisite to be able to examine social and economic processes and to test the effectiveness of political measures. Only sufficient and reliable data allow for evidence-based policy decisions.
The conference is aimed at all those in science, politics and administration who are interested in research data: Data producers, research-promoting institutions and young scientists as well as representatives of research infrastructures and the institutions that network in the RatSWD. Important multipliers from the field of research data management are also specifically addressed. The dialogue with politics is prominently reflected in the programme, for example in a parliamentary evening. The aim of the KSWD is to initiate an open multidisciplinary exchange and to promote the establishment and further development of the research data infrastructure for the social, behavioural and economic sciences.
