SERSCIDA Support for Establishment of National/Regional Social Sciences Data Archives
SERSCIDA was designed as a strategic project for supporting the co-operation and exchange of knowledge between the EU countries associated within the Council of European Social Sciences Data Archives (CESSDA) and the Western Balkan Countries (WBC) in the field of social science data archiving. The project addresses the issues of potential use of information-communication technologies for the benefits of scientific research and exchange of knowledge as laid down in the call for proposals. The project aims to produce tangible results and improve the capacities for exchange of knowledge and data collected through research in social sciences between the European countries and WBC involved.
The four main objectives of SERSCIDA are:
- to support the establishment of social science data archives in order to increase the level of sharing and preserving data collected through research in WB countries
- to identify potentials and infrastructures for establishment of social science data archives in WB countries involved
- to enhance the exchange of knowledge and sharing of data collected through research in social sciences in the WB countries and EU – CESSDA countries.
- to increase the level of understanding and support for open access policies through involvement of policy and decision makers in WB countries.
