Submissions are now open for the Labour Force and Annual Population Surveys User Conference 2024.
This free conference, organised by the UK Data Service in collaboration with the Office for National Statistics (ONS), will be held in London at Lift Islington on 23 May 2024. The programme will contain a mixture of presentations from ONS and researchers who have used data from the UK Labour Force Survey (LFS) or Annual Population Survey (APS).
Offers of presentations based on analyses of either of these two surveys are invited. All topics are welcome, whether substantive or methodological. Abstracts from researchers at all stages of their career, including PhD students, are welcome.
See the 2023 Labour Force and Annual Population Surveys User Conference programme for what was presented last time.
Please send offers of a paper using the online submission form by midnight on Sunday 17 March. By submitting your abstract you are agreeing to your information being shared with our conference partners.
All abstracts will be evaluated, and authors notified after the selection process. A detailed programme of presentations will be provided prior to the conference.
14 March 2024, 10:00 - 13:30
This Safe Researcher Training (SRT) course is intended for researchers who will be, or are in the process of, applying for access to controlled data in the UK Data Service Secure Lab. It is also suitable for researchers who will be accessing controlled data in other secure environments, such as the ONS Secure Research Service or HMRC Datalab, where the requirements of access mandate attendance on a Safe Researcher Training course. It is not suitable for inexperienced researchers whose project applications are unlikely to be approved, such as undergraduates applying for dissertation projects.
Researchers who are applying for Accredited Researcher (AR) status to access data through legal gateways, such as the Digital Economy Act (DEA), must attend and pass this course before they can be awarded AR status.
Training opportunities to gain research skills and develop a better understanding of finding and working with data are available within the University. Workshops are run by different departments, from the Bodleian Library's iSkills sessions to IT Learning Centre courses.
External online training opportunities, as well as various workshops, seminars and conferences are available from UKDS and other organisations.
Booking links can be found in the course description.
