The first three weeks (1-20 July) of the ODISSEI Incubator for Lifecourse Modelling will be hosted at the CCSS. Every Friday there will be a presentation that is open to the general public and will take place at the CCSS living room (MIN4.16) from 13:00-14:00.

Infrastructure for Lifecourse & Health Research in 2035
Dr. Tom Emery
11th of July 13:00-14:00
In the last 5 years there have been significant developments in the field of lifecourse research stemming from fundamental shifts in the data, compute, and algorithms available to researchers. In this presentation potential future pathways and bottlenecks for research into the Lifecourse are presented, and an overview of current and mid-term developments is given. By setting out current infrastructural initiatives at the European and Global level, a development roadmap is laid out in which these initiatives are aligned and integrated to provide fundamentally ground-breaking infrastructure for the social sciences in the early part of the next decade. This roadmap aims to establish a global infrastructure through which researchers can systematically train and test lifecourse models across many countries and drawing from multiple diverse data sources. The presentation concludes with reflection on how such research infrastructure might impact research agendas in lifecourse research and new questions it might open up. 

The ODISSEI Incubator for Lifecourse Modelling
For the month of July, ODISSEI will be conducting an incubator where a multidisciplinary group of researchers will work in collaborative groups to establish new standards and data models for analyzing lifecourse data in the Secure Environment at Statistics Netherlands. Lifecourse research has huge potential for understanding a wide range of complex social outcomes from fertility through to political polarization. However, we have seen in other fields that developing such models requires intensive coordination across a research field, the setting of benchmarks, and the establishment of common standards. This incubator aims to encourage this level of coordination and standardization whilst fully respecting and enforcing the stringent and necessary security protocols that are in place when working with this data. By the end of the incubator it is hoped that the teams will have agreed on, developed, and deployed common and effective approaches for modelling lifecourse processes that are usable not only in the context of the Netherlands but in equivalent data environments. To supplement the work of the incubator and broaden engagement, participants and external speakers will provide presentations on their work every Friday at lunchtime. These talks are open to any interested parties who might like to learn more about the work of the incubator. The results of the Incubator will be presented at the ODISSEI Conference in November.
