From July 13 to 17, 2015, the sixth conference of the European Survey Research Association (ESRA) took place at the University of Iceland in Reykjavík, Iceland. Over 700 scientists from 47 different countries participated, including approximately a dozen representatives of the LIfBi in Bamberg and consortium members of the NEPS network. 

This year, the LIfBi contributed four symposia and nine presentations and was, therefore, able to establish numerous new scientific contacts. In addition, the LIfBi had its own convention booth to present the institute and illustrate the analytic potential of the data collected by the National Educational Panel Study to ESRA visitors.
