EUCOV III

The overall aim of this project is to maintain full EU coverage in SHARE Wave 10 to provide the largest possible SHARE database to the research community, the EU Commission and its agencies, and supranational organisations such as OECD or WHO.  

This includes the main data collection of Wave 10 in eleven SHARE member countries, followed by the preparation of a first release of Wave 10 and the scientific release of Wave 10. It also includes the first preparations for SHARE Wave 11 (i.e., procurement, questionnaire revisions, translations, instrument development, pretest, preload).  

The project duration is from March 2025 to September 2026. 

The overall aim will be achieved by extending the support of DG Employment, Social Affairs and Inclusion in the eight EU member states that joined SHARE in Wave 7 (Bulgaria, Cyprus, Finland, Latvia, Lithuania, Malta, Romania, Slovakia) with the exception of Latvia, which was able to secure national funding for Wave 10, and in four additional countries (Estonia, Greece, Portugal, Spain). Lithuania has national funding for Wave 10 but needs funding for their national drop-off survey. Finland and Lithuania will have national funding for Wave 11.
