The eighth seminar in the CLOSER Longitudinal Methodology Series features talks from Marta Favara, Quantitative Researcher at Young Lives, University of Oxford and Lucinda Platt, Professor of Social Policy and Sociology at the London School of Economics and Political Science.

The aim of the series is to highlight methodological innovations and expertise and in turn facilitate and encourage future collaborations and new research. Marta will discuss the methodological challenges, strengths and weaknesses of an extensive longitudinal study into children and youth around the world. Lucinda will discuss the issue and approaches of producing a harmonised survey for cross-national research in four European countries.
