CESSDA ERIC joins the EURHISFIRM projec as the 12th consortium member!

CESSDA ERIC provides large-scale, integrated and sustainable data services to the social sciences. It brings together social science data archives across Europe, with the aim of promoting the results of social science research and supporting national and international research and cooperation.

CESSDA ERIC’s expertise in the open data and research infrastructure ecosystem, particularly in the social sciences, will enhance EURHISFIRM’s technical and scientific competencies and will support the project’s research infrastructure design in incorporating cutting-edge developments from the European data community.

CESSDA ERIC is also the coordinator of the SSHOC project (Social Science and Humanities Open Cloud), in which EURHISFIRM partners participates. SSHOC is a project within the framework of the EOSC (European Open Science Cloud).

With the addition of CESSDA ERIC, the EURHISFIRM consortium’s membership expands to 12 institution in 8 countries across Europe.

EURHISFIRM will design a world-class research infrastructure (RI) to connect, collect, collate, align, and share detailed, reliable, and standardised long-term company-level datafor Europe to enable researchers, policymakers and other stakeholders to analyse, develop, and evaluate effective strategies to promote investment and economic growth.

To achieve this goal, EURHISFIRM develops innovative tools to spark a “big data revolution” in the historical social sciences and to open access to cultural heritage in close cooperation with existing RIs.
