In February, the GGP hosted a collaborative two-day workshop with our colleagues from INED. This workshop served as a platform to delve into the operational aspects of the GGS-II, with a specific focus on fieldwork methodologies and post-fieldwork procedures in preparation for the upcoming GGS-II Wave 2.

The focus of the first day revolved around post-fieldwork operations. The GGP Central Hub provided insights into our established data processing workflow, complemented by INED’s comprehensive overview of their data documentation practices. This collaborative exchange led to meaningful discussions on optimizing the integration of our workflows for the upcoming second wave of the survey.

The second half of the day delved into the structural considerations of GGS-II Wave 2. Additionally, we discussed our insights from country-led data collection and how to best harmonise these initiatives with the GGS standards. On the second day, the morning session started with an exploration of internal workflows, featuring an introduction to our new project management tool and a comprehensive guide to using GitHub for version control to make our collaboration more transparent and reproducible. The afternoon session concentrated on fieldwork-related topics. This included an in-depth introduction to fieldwork activities and the creation of a standardized template for documenting translations and other fieldwork activities. An essential aspect covered was the versioning process for the Core Questionnaire in Wave 2.

In summary, the workshop enhanced collaboration between teams and addressed operational challenges for the execution of GGS-II Wave 2.

7th GGP User Conference

The 7th GGP User Conference will take place on 13-15 September at the Warsaw School of Economics in Poland. Researchers working with data from the Generations and Gender Survey, the GGP Contextual Database, or the Harmonized Histories will present and discuss their most recent methodological approaches and empirical findings.

The GGP User Conference provides a platform for the exchange of ideas among existing and new GGP users, policymakers, and the research community at large. We especially encourage the submission of papers using data from recently conducted rounds of the GGS as well as papers providing new methodological insights. Moreover, we encourage papers using longitudinal or multi-country data.

The conference will be hybrid, allowing researchers to join us both online or in person in Warsaw. There is no fee for the conference, but places are limited. You can register before August 20th here:
