GGP Workshop || 21st -22nd Feburary 2024

In February, the GGP hosted a collaborative two-day workshop with our colleagues from INED. This workshop served as a platform to delve into the operational aspects of the GGS-II, with a specific focus on fieldwork methodologies and post-fieldwork procedures in preparation for the upcoming GGS-II Wave 2.

The focus of the first day revolved around post-fieldwork operations. The GGP Central Hub provided insights into our established data processing workflow, complemented by INED’s comprehensive overview of their data documentation practices. This collaborative exchange led to meaningful discussions on optimizing the integration of our workflows for the upcoming second wave of the survey.

The second half of the day delved into the structural considerations of GGS-II Wave 2. Additionally, we discussed our insights from country-led data collection and how to best harmonise these initiatives with the GGS standards. On the second day, the morning session started with an exploration of internal workflows, featuring an introduction to our new project management tool and a comprehensive guide to using GitHub for version control to make our collaboration more transparent and reproducible. The afternoon session concentrated on fieldwork-related topics. This included an in-depth introduction to fieldwork activities and the creation of a standardized template for documenting translations and other fieldwork activities. An essential aspect covered was the versioning process for the Core Questionnaire in Wave 2.

In summary, the workshop enhanced collaboration between teams and addressed operational challenges for the execution of GGS-II Wave 2.

17th GGP Council Meeting || 24 June 2020 || Online

We had announced previously that the next meeting of the GGP Council would be held in Italy, in concert with the European Population Conference 2020 (which has now been cancelled). Due to the contingency measures to contain COVID-19, it was decided that the meeting will still take place on the same date but will be Online. It will be held, from 13:00-15:00 (Amsterdam time) on Wednesday, June 24, 2020.
 
The GGP Council meeting will be the occasion to discuss further with national teams their progress towards fielding the new GGS. The GGP Council meeting is also open to other national teams who have not yet considered the possibility of participating in the GGS2020.
 
Given the format of this meeting, we need to restrict participation to one person per national team. We therefore ask national teams to designate this representative and to inform the GGP Central Hub about the name of this person. Please also indicate if she/ he would like to make a short presentation during the meeting (presentations will be limited to 5 minutes) – please email ggp@nidi.nl before 1 June 2020.

13:10: Short presentation from the Central Hub about recent developments
13:30-14:45: National teams presentations (5 minutes each)

We ask all national teams provide a brief update on the activities and progress in their country by 25 May. This is vital to help us track progress and monitor developments. You can fill out the report here:
