CSO-CERS Data Room

Under the research agreement concluded by the CERS and the CSO, all CERS researchers have been entitled to using the CSO-CERS Data Room located at the Human Sciences Research Facility since 1 February 2018.

The detailed description for researchers, the claim form, the confidentiality statement, the scope of data available, the list of variables of databases, and demo files are provided for all eligible researchers upon request. Please submit such claims and questions concerning the Data Room to kutatoszoba@krtk.hu.

Submitting a request for using the Data Room

Access to data in the Data Room is subject to a research plan approved by both the CERS and the CSO. A new project may be launched by completing a claim form and submitting it to kutatoszoba@krtk.hu. The claim form may be downloaded from the following link: (https://test.adatbank.krtk.mta.hu/wp-content/uploads/2020/12/Igenybejelento-adatlap-kutatoszobai-hozzafereshez.doc ). Following the approval of Assessment Committee of the CERS, the claim form is sent to the CSO. If the CSO also approves the research plan, identifiers allowing researchers to log in to the terminals in the Data Room are prepared. The identifiers can only be received personally in the central CSO building (1024 Budapest, Keleti Károly u. 5-7.) after signing the confidentiality statement.  A copy of the confidentiality statement is handed over to the Databank, where entry to the Data Room is authorized on the key card of the researcher. The Databank informs researchers about the judgement on the research plan.

Conditions of using the Data Room

A project may be started in the Data Room on condition that the project is led by a researcher of the CERS or the Center for Social Sciences.
