The presentation of the latest data sets by the hosting institutions was at the center of attention. The attendance of numerous researchers from different disciplines documented the keen, scholarly interest in this convention. After giving a brief introduction to the panel design of the National Educational Panel Study, Dr. Kleinert focused on the survey design and analytical potential of NEPS Starting Cohort 6–Adults–in her presentation. Subsequently, Dr. Skopek elaborated on documentation and different ways of data access in the National Educational Panel Study. Alongside NEPS, other interesting data sets and studies such as the panel study "Labor market and social security" (PASS) or the Linked-Employer-Employee data set of the IAB (LIAB) were presented.
