The programme

New Data Spaces for the Social Sciences
The coordinated long-term DFG Infrastructure Priority Programme SPP 2431 aims at innovating the data landscape available for social science research by improving, enhancing, and combining existing data sources and data that have only recently become available. The SPP contributes to this aim by bundling the skills, knowledge, and expertise in different fields of empirical social research and computer science and by providing the means to test new methods and procedures of data generation, to develop best practice examples of data sources, data collection, and data integration, to enhance data quality, and to anchor innovations in data collection programmes.

ENTAILab
is the programme’s core infrastructural service and research centre. It is dedicated to the use and advancement of existing research infrastructures, the demand-oriented generation of a new research infrastructure for the needs of the SPP projects, and the development of new data spaces. Its aim is to meet the diverse needs of the programme’s projects and to disseminate results and deliverables.

ENTAILab

integrates four measures:
Build on and Develop Existing Panel Studies, Research-driven Infrastructure for Advanced Survey-related Data (CIRCLET), Protection and Data Ethics, and Results for Future Data Spaces and Open Science.
