HDRI Data Lab
As Data Lab leader (since 2016), I coordinate data management, documentation and dissemination activities related to HDRI surveys, especially the Turning Points of the Life Course panel survey (the Hungarian Generations and Gender Survey). I deal with data requests and aim to make survey data available and usable for the scientific community.
I participate in tasks related to the GGP since 2008.
I have participated in preparing, designing, conducting, processing and documenting the successive waves of the Hungarian Generations and Gender Survey (aka "Turning Points of the Life Course" panel survey).
I harmonized the Hungarian GGS data (waves 1 and 2) and I was part of part of the team harmonizing Wave 3 Dutch, French and Hungarian data.
I participate in the GGP-5D project as member of the Hungarian team. Our tasks included preparing the GGS Teaching Datasets.
