In 2010, Joachim R. Frick and Jürgen Schupp, deputy directors of the Department German Socio-economic Panel Study (SOEP), will participate in the working groups “Research Data,” “Hosting/Long-term Archiving,” and “Information competency/Training” within the Working Committee “Information Infrastructure” of the Leibniz Association on commission from the Joint Science Conference (GWK).
The GWK is the successor organization of the Bund-Länder Commission for Educational Planning and Research Promotion (BLK). The restructured body for joint science and research support by the federal and state governments addresses and decides on major research policy questions, as well as seeks to foster a more strategically oriented discussion on questions of the science and research system overall.
