SSHOC
Through the SSHOC project, the CDSP partakes in the construction of a European cloud harnessing digital tools and training resources directed to the social sciences and humanities research communities.
The SSHOC projet
Orchestrated by the Consortium of European Social Science Data (CESSDA ERIC), the Social Sciences and Humanities Open Cloud (SSHOC) aims to regroup innovations driven by european research infrastructure under a common umbrella of cloud services made accessible to the social sciences and humanities academic community.
This project contributes to the European Open Science Cloud (EOSC) initiative, the broader aim of which is to offer the scientific community a cloud-based access to an open set of tools, services and training resources.
The SSHOC project is funded as part of the European Union's Horizon 2020 (H2020) program for research and innovation, and started its 40-month agenda on january 1st 2019. Sciences Po is among the 19 partners involved, the list of which if given below.
CDSP's involvement
As part of the SSHOC work package 4 on "innovation in data production", led by the European Social Study (ESS ERIC), CDSP's software solutions team is responsible for the development of a "Sample management System": a web application used to manage international panels and field online surveys at the European scale.
This endeavour builds on experience and skills acquired along the ELIPSS project, the operation of which relies on a customized panel management application continuously improved for almost 10 years.
A prototype of the Sample Management System is currently on its way, targeting a test phase scheduled for the beginning of 2020. The software will find its first full-scale use for the CRONOS project, an online subset of the ESS survey. The French fieldwork of CRONOS will be carried out by the CDSP.
