Need for a new kind of funding for Social Science Surveys

SHARE-ERIC Position Paper on Long-Term Financial Sustainability

A specific type of EU support for research infrastructures like SHARE, however, is currently lacking. For this reason, we have published a position paper which addresses the current problems and proposes solutions.
