UK LIS Satellite Office

The UK LIS Satellite Office at the International Inequalities Institute (III) is located at the London School of Economics and Political Science (LSE) and coordinated by Dr. Nora Waitkus. The satellite office was launched on the 6th of December 2021. The main aim of the office is to promote the usage of the LIS Databases in the UK and elsewhere, and to serve as the reference point for the liaison between LIS and the community of LIS data users in the UK. The satellite office is composed of the following scholars:

• Professor Frank Cowell (Department of Economics, STICERD and III)
• Professor Francisco Ferreira (III and Department of Social Policy)
• Professor Stephen Jenkins (Department of Social Policy and III)
• Dr. Nora Waitkus (III)

Secure Data Access Pathways

UK-based LIS researchers can securely access the LIS data through two pathways:

• The LIS Virtual Desktop hosted at the LSE Library (for III-LSE affiliates).
• The SafePod Network available across participating UK universities.

These secure access points enable UK-based researchers to conduct analyses directly on the LIS databases, they serve as a key channel for expanding the use of LIS data across the UK research community.

For more information about the secure data access pathways and application procedures, see here.
