General description
Surveys
Seven major surveys will be carried out during the lifespan of this project. Four of these are national surveys and the remaining three are European surveys. In addition to these surveys, LifeObs will facilitate the use of other data, such as the EDP (Échantillon démographique permanent / Permanent demographic sample) and TCM (Tronc commun des ménages / Common household questionnaire).
- National surveys
  4 french surveys
- European surveys
  3 european surveys
- Others data : TCM et EDP
  The LifeObs project will promote and facilitate the re-use of other databases, such as the EDP (Échantillon démographique permanent / Permanent demographic sample) and TCM (Tronc commun des ménages / Common household questionnaire).

Data access

The role of the Dissemination Department is to facilitate access to the 8 major LifeObs surveys, the TCM databases (INSEE), and existing French surveys on life history. The department will also be responsible for showcasing these surveys to the general public.

The first objective is to centralise the data and standardise the survey documentation according to international standards. To this end, an inventory of the data and documentation will be carried out.

The second objective is to increase the visibility of these surveys among prospective users. Dissemination activities targeting the scientific and academic community will be carried out and the survey results will be presented to the general public. The University Data Platforms (PUD) of TGIR Progedo—a national network that is active throughout Metropolitan France, within the framework of the Houses of Human Sciences—will also be mobilised.

The third objective is to promote the (re)use of life history surveys. For researchers, professors, doctoral students, and Master’s students, these surveys (the documentation and the data) will be made available primarily through TGIR Progedo’s Quetelet-Progedo-Diffusion data catalogue
