The Institute of Public Health is organising a seminar on SHARE (Survey of Health, Ageing and Retirement in Europe) with an insightful overview, detailed examination of data collection, and exploration of data structure, documentation, publication, and citation. The seminar will delve into retrospective life history data, accompanying datasets, and the significance of SHARE Corona Surveys, concluding with practical tips and tricks for first-time users, collected from previous Q&A sessions.
