Work package 5

Establishment of prototype social sciencedigital data archives. It envisages creation of prototype digital data archives as a basis for further concrete activities on establishment of social science data archives in the WBC. The decision on whether to have national digital data archives in each WB country or rather a regional one will be made on the basis of analyses of potentials for establishment of social sciences data archives in the three countries involved, as well as conference discussion and round tables that will be organized during the WP3. The decision on data archives will also take into consideration the source and availability of funds having in mind the high costs related to establishment and functioning of archives. The prototype archives will be directly derived from the CESSDAPPP and CESSDA-ERIC projects and are considered as transfer of existing knowledge and activities to WB countries involved.
