User Advisory Board
The AUSSDA User Advisory Board (UAB) consists of active users of AUSSDA data and people with expertise in data reuse behaviour and research data. The board supports us in understanding our users' needs and helps to strengthen our ties to the social science community in Austria. The feedback that the User Advisory Board provides about AUSSDA services feeds into the improvement and expansion of existing services as well as generates ideas for the development of new services.
The members of the AUSSDA User Advisory Board are part of various scientific institutions with a social science background in Austria and see themselves as promoters for Open Science and FAIR Data. For the period 2023-2025, these are:
- Susann Fiedler, WU
- Tobias Göllner, Statistics Austria
- Fabian Kalleitner, University of Vienna
- Monika Mühlböck, University of Vienna
- Attila Pausits, University for Continuing Education Krems
