The ODISSEI Secure Supercomputer (OSSC) is the only facility in the world that facilitates supercomputing access to sensitive microdata of Statistics Netherlands (CBS). It runs on the Dutch national supercomputer Snellius and is hosted by SURF.  Secure ANalysis Environment (SANE) is an off-the-shelf TRE that can be used to facilitate data access between any data…

The ODISSEI Portal allows researchers to find high-quality metadata from the most important Dutch social science data collections. Currently, the Portal includes metadata of the microdata catalogue of Statistics Netherlands (CBS), the LISS panel, the DANS SSH Data Station, the Historical Sample of the Netherlands (HSN) and DataverseNL. An expansion to include metadata from all…

ODISSEI offers research support for its member organisations, which helps to identify new opportunities for impact and to conduct cutting-edge research through the use of the infrastructure. Explore the research support opportunities below. Photo by Brooke Cagle on Unsplash

How does it work?Applicants can submit proposals (together with a substantive supervisor) for projects in the social sciences (e.g., psychology, sociology, economics, behavioural science) for which a data-related problem needs to be solved.Examples of such solutions could be writing a high-quality data analysis pipeline, performing a causal analysis with simulation-based robustness checks, creating a software…

Pre-processing and analysis scripts are often scattered across different repositories (e.g. GitHub, OSF, etc) and difficult for others to find and reuse. The ODISSEI Code Library collects links to the code and scripts used to execute projects using the ODISSEI infrastructure into one interface and makes them searchable.  The ODISSEI Code Library contributes to ODISSEI’s…

What do we do? The ODISSEI FAIR Support team has created the ODISSEI user policy to guide our community in making their data FAIR. Experts from ODISSEI and DANS collaborate to provide tailored support and solutions in RDM, Open Science, and FAIR data and software for researchers, data stewards and research supporters. Explore below what…

ODISSEI SoDa focuses on:

The OSSC is designed to service and facilitate a wide range of applications that are impossible or difficult to execute in the regular CBS-RA environment, including the need for additional memory, computing and specialised hardware (Graphical Processing Units (GPUs) which excel in parallel processing of data). The environment has been in production since 2020 and…

The challenge The solution SANE follows the Five Safes principles and makes use of ISO 270001 certified SURF services. The secure environment has undergone thorough penetration tests to guarantee data providers a high level of safety. SANE is currently available on SURF Research Cloud, which uses SRAM to form collaborations between data providers and researchers. Tinker and…
