COhort cOmmunity Research and Development Infrastructure Network for Access Throughout Europe – COORDINATE

Aims

COORDINATE aims to fill the gaps in the availability of robust and suitable data for the monitoring and evaluation of child wellbeing in Europe by:

• Facilitating improved access to existing survey data on child wellbeing
• Extending the Growing Up in Digital Europe (GUIDE/Eurocohort) survey network
• Initiating the GUIDE survey with a large-scale cohort pilot survey using a harmonised instrument and research design in key European countries

Methods

• Webinars, summer schools, and grants for trans-national visits to facilitate improved access to existing survey data
• Network development activities
• Large-scale cohort pilot survey in 4 countries

Activities / milestones

The European Centre’s tasks in the project will entail:

1. Facilitating access to the Survey on Health, Ageing and Retirement in Europe (SHARE) by hosting international researchers and providing training on data extraction, processing, analysis and data visualisation
2. Network development to help deepen the knowledge and capacity for the use of international birth cohort panel survey data and build the expertise and operational capacity required for implementing the GUIDE survey in Europe
