CBS Microdata Discount

ODISSEI aims to remove the financial barriers to working with CBS microdata by offering a new discount on the startup cost for new projects.

Researchers employed by ODISSEI member organisations are entitled to a 25% discount on the initial costs of a new project. The discount can be requested by the project leader in the CBS self-service portal (please note that you would need to provide proof of ODISSEI membership; a screenshot of this page showing that your organisation is listed as an ODISSEI member is sufficient). After CBS has confirmed the affiliation with the ODISSEI member organisation, it will charge the discounted start-up rate on the first invoice the researcher receives from CBS.

The discount can be requested for all projects in preparation from April 2025 onward, and will effectively be invoiced from May.
