In recent decades, the growth in data collection, data availability and computing power has meant a corresponding growth in the empirical grounding of research and policymaking. This session proposes bringing together experts from the INEXDA network to share their knowledge on recent developments and future trends on how to facilitate access to granular administrative data and metadata. The talks first revolve around the current situation in which Research Data Centres (RDCs) are a widespread way to provide access to confidential administrative data.

After identifying best practices and lessons learned with regard to RDCs, the session will provide an outlook on the coming developments in the next few years. This session targets data producers.
