The ODISSEI Conference for Social Science in the Netherlands seeks to bring together a community of computational social scientists to discuss data, methods, infrastructure, ethics and theoretical work related to digital and computational approaches in social science research.
A new prototype version of the ODISSEI Portal has been published. Find more than 7500 datasets available across different Dutch data providers, including CBS, LISS, DANS and HSN. The new version includes enriched metadata making the search results even more relevant to your research question.
CBS (Statistics Netherlands) developed the Person Network (PN), a file that describes networks of the entire population of the Netherlands in 2018. The potential networks of individuals are derived from administrative data (microdata) and contain five so-called network layers: family members, household members, neighbours, colleagues, and classmates. The first pilot for this work, focusing on the information over 2014, was developed earlier through the ODISSEI Secure Super Computer (OSSC). In collaboration with ODISSEI, the Person Network file 2018 was made available through CBS’ Remote Access environment.
The Microdata Access Grant call of 2024 is now open. The MAG offers funding for six CBS microdata projects for researchers working at ODISSEI member organisations. Click here to read the guidelines.

On Tuesday 26 September between 14-15 hrs, Germans Savcisens, Ph.D. fellow at the Technical University of Denmark (Section for Cognitive Systems), will give an online lecture on Using Sequences of Life-events to Predict Human Lives. We present a life2vec model that uses this similarity to adapt innovations from natural language processing to examine the evolution and predictability of human lives based on day-to-day event sequences.
The ODISSEI Social Data Science (SoDa) team offers SoDa fellowships for early career social scientists. Applicants can submit proposals for projects in the social sciences for which a data science or data-related problem needs to be solved.
In the 2023 round of the ODISSEI-CBS Microdata Access Grant (MAG) call, six projects were awarded.
