Waiting list for the OSSC

The ODISSEI Secure Supercomputer (OSSC) allows to analyse highly sensitive data, such as CBS Microdata, on the Cartesius supercomputer. The OSSC demonstrated its extraordinary possibilities in three pilot projects. It is currently being scaled up to a production environment. It is expected that it will open to the wider research community before the summer of 2020. 

Do you think your project can use the ODISSEI Secure Supercomputer and do you want to be one of the first to use the production environment? Put your project on the waiting list.

Community Conference

The first ODISSEI Community Conference took place in October 2019. We look back to a great day with presentations by researchers who had received a LISS Grant 2018, a Microdata Access Grant (MAG) and conducted their research using the ODISSEI Secure Supercomputer (OSSC). Pearl Dykstra, Scientific Director of ODISSEI, gave a keynote on the future of ODISSEI. In two panel sessions invited experts shared their vision on Open Science and the Future of Social Science. There was also ample room for informal exchanges and networking. 

Pictures and slides of the day were published on our website.

Outcome LISS Call 2019

Ten researchers from the ODISSEI member organisations have been granted free data collection through the LISS panel. This panel, managed by CentERdata, consists of some 7,000 individuals from approximately 4,500 households. The panel is a representative sample of the Dutch population. In total, 39 proposals were submitted, a noteworthy increase in comparison to the 31 applications submitted in the 2018 LISS Call.

ODISSEI plans to release a new call in spring 2020.
