Access to statistical data for scientific purposes – INE/DGEEC/FCT Protocol
TheINE/DGEEC/FCT Protocol for access to data for scientific purposes was established by FCT, DGEEC, and INE with the aim of “establishing the conditions for access, for scientific purposes, to anonymized individual statistical data contained in databases held by INE” (produced by INE, by entities with delegated powers, and by other administrative sources), in the "INE National Data Infrastructure."
Access to data under this protocol requires researchers to be accredited (Clause 2 of the Protocol) by the DGEEC. Accreditation requests must be made via the Platform for the accreditation and transfer of statistical data for scientific research purposes:
This new platform integrates the researcher accreditation process and aims to simplify the administrative process of accrediting data requests, streamlining and improving communication with researchers through dematerialization and automation, while ensuring all levels of security and protection of confidential data.
