Childcare Strategies is my ERC Starting Grant Project, awarded in 2021. In this project administrative data and linked survey data are used to provide fine grain analyses of couples childcare strategies when they have young children aged 0-4. The project goes beyond the state of the art by looking at how these childcare strategies diffuse across the population, resulting in socio-economic inequalities in childcare behaviours. I will be employing 3 PhD Students to work on this project from fall 2023.
SANE is a project that aims to produce Secure Analytical Environments for research that are flexible and scalable. This project is financed by PDI-SSH and is being conducted in collaboration between SURF, ODISSEI and CLARIAH. The project aims to provide easy to use secure enviornments that operate using the SURF Compute Infrastructure and adhere to very high security standards, and allowing data owners to retain control over the data that they make available for research.
In this project we have been converting existing social policy datasets into documented RESTful API's that allow researchers to intergrate social policy data into wider social science research and beyond.
ocial Sciences & Humanities Open Cloud (SSHOC) is a project funded by the EU framework programme Horizon 2020 and unites 20 partner organisations and their 27 associates in developing the social sciences and humanities area of the European Open Science Cloud (EOSC). In SSHOC, I led tasks on the development of audio data collection in social surveys and the use of API's to intergrate Social Policy data in surveys.
Synergies for Europe's Research Infrastructures in the Social Sciences (SERISS) was a four-year project that aimed to strengthen and harmonise social science research across Europe. I represented the GGP and worked on the implementation of GDPR across Survey Infrastructures.
