Workshop Schedule
The next GUI data workshop will take place online on 28th November, from 10am to 12pm. When registering for this event, please specify whether you wish to attend the module for EITHER ‘data analysts’ (i.e. you will be doing your own analysis with the datasets) OR ‘policy-makers’ (i.e. you will be using resources and reports that have already been published).
Registration link here.
We aim to host Growing Up in Ireland data workshops quarterly; the most recent data workshop took place on March 6th 2024, whilst we held a policymaker-specific workshop on Sept 5th 2024. Information about the next workshop (in Q4 2024) will be advertised on this website, on our social media channels, and via our mailing list.
About
Workshops cover a broad range of topics and aim to promote and support the use of the GUI datasets from both the Child Cohort ’98 and the Infant Cohort ’08. Attendees will gain a comprehensive overview of the conduct of the study, the structure of the data, supporting documentation, as well as how to match the datasets across waves.
No prior familiarity with the Growing Up in Ireland data is assumed. The workshops take a general approach to the datasets. The study design, dataset structures and analytic techniques needed to make use of the data overlap across both cohorts so the workshops are informative for all GUI data users.
