The Sociological Data Archive collects the data files that result from Czech sociological surveys, public opinion polls, and international sociological surveys involving Czech participation. The primary objective is to make the data accessible for the purposes of academic research and education. The SDA also provides support for the secondary analysis of data and for special research projects. The SDA is a member of the Council of European Social Science Data Archives (CESSDA) and the East European Data Archive Network (EDAN). The department members also take part in the work of a number of research studies, including the Czech surveys for the ISSP and the ESS. Areas of priority interest include research on methodology and data quality.
