Lille University Data Platform

PUDL
Humanities and social sciences Platform Culture, societies, changing practices

Our platform provides support for quantitative research in the humanities and social sciences (SHS). We aim to promote the use of large surveys, databases, indicators and other quantitative data in SHS. Our mission is to support researchers in SHS using quantitative data and to promote the use of these data in SHS. We can help you search for data, provide training, find tools, and help you finance your projects.
