The EU project, Infra4NextGen, will provide data and research infrastructure services with the focus on the five NextGenEU youth policy topic areas: Make it Green; Make it Digital; Make it Healthy; Make it Strong; and Make it Equal. The aim is to facilitate evidence-based policymaking across these five pillars.

The main tasks of the Work Packages led by GESIS will be to provide users with a set of cross-national data files containing harmonized and merged data on the five themes from up to six existing survey programs. This will reduce fragmentation between social survey data currently organized by the survey programs rather than by substantive theme. Beyond that, we will design and setup virtual access to metadata overviews, the harmonized data files, and harmonization scripts.
