Do you feel like supporting science and research? Welcome to the SHARE BERLIN Institute GmbH.
The Survey of Health, Ageing and Retirement in Europe (SHARE) collects and analyses socio-economic and biomedical life course data from people aged 50 and over and provides the internationally comparable longitudinal microdata for scientific research. As Europe's largest social science panel study with so far approx.140,000 respondents SHARE is one of the major European research infrastructures in the field of social sciences. In 2011SHARE became the first European Research Infrastructure Consortium (ERIC).
The SHARE BERLIN Institute GmbH (SBI) was founded in 2022 by the Berlin Social Science Center (WZB), the German Institute for Economic Research (DIW), the Charité - Universitätsmedizin Berlin and the German Centre of Gerontology (DZA). This institution is intended to give the central coordination of SHARE and the associated research, which is based in Germany, a permanent home in Berlin. The SBI and SHARE-ERIC work closely together on all questions of implementation and scientific further development of the research infrastructure.
