CDSP takes active part in the European SSHOC project

Within the framework of the European Data Infrastructure EOSC (European Open Science Cloud), Sciences Po will be partner of the Social Sciences and Humanities Open Cloud (SSHOC) that starts January 1st 2019.

The Software Projects team of the CDSP will be responsible to design and develop a Sample Management System (SMS) suitable for web-based international surveys at the European scale.

The SSHOC project

SSHOC is a project funded by the European Union as part of the Horizon 2020 program for research and innovation. While different European research endeavours and infrastructures exist, the purpose of the SSHOC project is to make them converge towards a coherent set of services provided to the research community through the European Open Science Cloud (EOSC). 

The EOSC portal aims to gather data, tools and training resources made accessible through a simplified entrypoint  for the benefit of the research community at large, and social scientists in particular.
