The Socio-Economic Panel: Lunch Lecture

Sabine Zinn, Director of the Socio-Economic Panel (SOEP), introduces one of the world's largest and longest-running multidisciplinary household surveys. She will explain how the infrastructure is organised, how researchers use SOEP data, and what is involved in maintaining a long-term study of this scale. The lecture also addresses current challenges and future directions for research infrastructures such as SOEP. 

There will be time for questions and discussion with Sabine Zinn and other participants.

This event is part of the supporting program for the Kohli Foundation for Sociology Award Ceremony. The main ceremony will take place on November 3, 2026, and is listed as a separate event. You are very welcome to join both events.
