News events and publications

SDS and the Office for National Statistics have agreed a timetable for transfer of data from the Virtual Microdata Laboratory to the SDS. The transfer will begin in Spring 2010 with highly detailed versions of some of ONS's key social surveys, followed by transfer of key business microdata. The timetable calls for data transfer to be complete by Summer 2011.

The SDS pilot service will be launched on 14 December 2009, with a joint event with sister service ADLS at the Royal Statistical Society in London. Further details and registration information can be found here.

Information about training events will be published here. For further information, contact the SDS.

This will contain Powerpoint presentations and co-authored papers.
