In SND’s national research data catalogue you can search almost two thousand listed studies in a variety of subject areas. You may find everything from survey data to biological sample data, as well as study collections such as SHARE (Survey of Health Ageing and Retirement in Europe), the SOM surveys (Society, Opinion, Media), and VALU (Swedish exit poll surveys).
The SND research data catalogue describes data that are accessible in the catalogue itself, as well as data accessible via another portal or actor. Some data can be accessed via direct download, whereas others need to be ordered. However, all of the listed data can be used at no cost. The icons in the search results below give you an idea of each study’s accessibility level.
Refine your search using the filter function on the left side of the screen. If you are looking for data with geographical information, you can search using the map view.
