Press release on the occasion of the first data release in the Czech Republic (Czech): (pdf)
The SoGreen project has launched a new survey module designed to measure the social dimensions of the green transition. Developed through a collaboration between four leading European social science research infrastructures, Survey of Health, Ageing and Retirement in Europe (SHARE), Generations and Gender Programme (GGP) , European Social Survey (ESS), and Growing Up in Digital Europe (GUIDE), the SoGreen Module aims to provide robust, comparative data on how individuals experience and respond to the climate crisis and related policies.
With growing recognition that the green transition must be not only environmentally sustainable but also socially just, the module addresses key issues such as energy and transport poverty, job security, health impacts, and access to infrastructure. It also explores attitudes toward climate change, trust in institutions, perceived risks, and willingness to adopt pro-environmental behaviours.
The module comprises 30 concise items grounded in previous survey efforts and refined through expert feedback and cognitive testing. It will be fielded across 17 European countries using established platforms such as ESS-CRONOS, SHARE SCQ, GGS-IBWS, and GUIDE CIPS. The integration of survey data with geospatial and environmental indicators will provide an unprecedented opportunity to assess how socio-economic factors and local conditions shape the experience of the green transition.
The SoGreen Module marks a significant advancement in social science tools available for the analysis of climate policy impacts, supporting the European Green Dealâs goal of a fair transition for all.
Data Release 1.0.0 of SHARE-HCAP 1 (Harmonized Cognitive Assessment Protocol). The HCAP 1 study contains in-depth measurements of cognition with a selected sub-sample of SHARE respondents in five countries. Further information is available at the SHARE data portal
New project funded by the EU Commission started on January 1st to investigate the social aspects of the green transition Berlin, January 2025. The SoGreen project is set to combine the capabilities of the four leading European social science infrastructures: SHARE ERIC, ESS ERIC, GGP, and GUIDE. This ambitious initiative aims to uncover groundbreaking insights into how the green transition impacts different generations and socioeconomic groups across Europe, all through the lens of a life-course perspective.
The project will deliver a suite of cutting-edge services, including innovative tools, tailored questionnaire modules, and advanced solutions that shine a spotlight on the social dimensions of the green transition. What sets SoGreen apart is its unique longitudinal and multi-generational approach, which integrates fresh data with state-of-the-art analytical frameworks. By combining survey datasets with geospatial data and deploying innovative visualization tools, the project promises to deliver unparalleled insights into the green transition at both national and regional levels.
At the heart of SoGreen lies innovation and collaboration. A new Green Transition Questionnaire Module will harmonize how environmental themes are explored across the surveys, ensuring coherence and depth. The consortium will also create harmonized datasets and launch a joint dissemination platform, making the data more accessible and fostering consistency in analysis across studies. Driving engagement and dialogue is the Knowledge Mobilisation Lab â a new platform designed to connect policymakers, researchers, NGOs, and private sector stakeholders. By cultivating this dynamic network, SoGreen aims to shape the discourse on the green transition and deliver actionable insights that influence policy and societal developments.
Berlin â From November 6th to November 8th, 2024, interested researchers met in Berlin to discuss research using data from SHARE and data from the broader international network of health and retirement studies supported by the Gateway to Global Aging Data. This interdisciplinary SHARE-Gateway User Conference has been jointly organized by the SHARE BERLIN Institute and Gateway to Global Aging Data.
Especially in view of the present population ageing fostering research that investigates cross-country and historical variation in ageing, health, and systems supporting older individuals and their families is key. Therefore, the aim of the conference was to stimulate collaboration and to foster scientific exchange between users on research evaluating a range of topics covered in the international network, especially cross-country work on health, aging, and retirement.
Furthermore, on November 6th the SHARE BERLIN Institute hosts the Symposium on Inequalities in Health, Retirement, and Care in an Ageing World. This event comprised four different session and gave interesting insights in current research about health behaviour, living circumstances at older ages, healthy ageing, challenges in later life, etc.
Administrative data linked up to SHARE Wave 9 from the German record linkage project comprises updated data of the German Pension Insurance. The administrative data sources â VSKT (employment histories on a monthly base) and the RTBN (information on pensioners) â are available up to reporting year 2022. SHARE-RV links the administrative data to all German SHARE data up to Wave 9 as well as to the SHARE Corona Survey.
As the project term ended in June 2024, a final conference was held in Brussels on June 26th 2024 to present and discuss the final results and policy recommendations of the SHARE-COVID19 research project. The SHARE-COVID19 project was funded by the European Commission to better understand the non-intended consequences of the epidemic control decisions to contain the COVID-19 pandemic and to devise improved health, economic and social policies.
The presentations focused on policy recommendations for healthcare, health, labor markets, adressing the inequality of income and wealth, social and intergenerational relationships as well as housing and living arrangements.
More information about the SHARE-COVID19 project can be found here or on the projectâs website.
EUCOVII is the follow-up project of EUCOV enforcing common procedures and conducting data collection across EU member states.
The overall aim is to maintain full EU coverage in SHARE Wave 10 to provide the largest possible SHARE database to the research community, the EU Commission, and supranational organisations. This includes all final preparations and the start of the main data collection of Wave 10, data cleaning and data release in 11 SHARE member countries. The overall aim will be achieved by extending the support of DG Employment, Social Affairs and Inclusion in the eight EU member states that joined SHARE in Wave 7 (BG, CY, FI, LT, LV, MT, RO, SK) with the exception of Latvia, which was able to secure national funding for Wave 10, and in four âcrisis countriesâ (EE, ES, GR, PT). The project will provide the basis for new data in the areas of long-term care, healthcare, informal care, labour force participation, work-life balance, pensions, and access to social protection of respondents aged 50 and older. Moreover, in combination with data from the two SHARE Corona Surveys, this project will shed light on the social and economic disruptions and other long-term effects of COVID-19 and the epidemic control decisions.
REGLINK-SHAREFI stands for the direct linkage of survey data of the Finnish Survey of Health, Ageing and Retirement in Europe (SHARE) with register data from Statistics Finland, the Finnish Center for Pensions and Kela.
The first data version of the Finnish record linkage project includes survey data of Finnish SHARE respondents of Waves 7-9 who gave their consent for linkage in Wave 8 or Wave 9. It is possible for researchers who are registered users of SHARE to get access to REGLINK-SHAREFI. More information at REGLINK-SHAREFI website.
The Achilles heel of SHARE, very much like the European Union itself, lies in the centrifugal forces of the member states with their different policies, priorities and abilities to pay. These centrifugal forces have increased with the number of countries and endanger the cohesion of SHARE as a pan-European infrastructure, especially our ability to harmonise the scientific content and the survey methods across SHAREâs member countries. SHAREâs strategy to counter these centrifugal forces has been, from its very beginning, to establish a strong central coordination, which is financially independent.
The overarching aim of this project is therefore to strengthen the centralised approach of SHARE in order to combine scientific excellence with cohesion across all 28 SHARE member countries. To reach this aim, several objectives are set in SHARE Waves 8, 9, and 10:
Release 1-0-0 of SHARE Dried Blood Spots (DBS) data is the first release with seven blood biomarkers serving as additional objective measures of health. Twelve countries participated in the DBS sample collection during wave 6.

âFrom the SHARE Corona Survey 2 to the SHARE Main Wave 9 Interviewâ volume documents the most important questionnaire innovations, methodological advancements and new procedures introduced during the second SHARE Corona Survey and the ninth wave of SHARE.
The most recent data collection of SHARE started with the second SHARE Corona Survey, enabling to study (intra-individual) changes between the start of the pandemic and the situation one year later in a cross-national perspective. Only a few months later, SHARE returned to the regular face-to-face interviewing for the SHARE Wave 9 survey.
SHARE, the Survey of Health, Ageing and Retirement in Europe, is a research infrastructure for studying the effects of health, social, economic and environmental policies over the life-course of European citizens and beyond. From 2004 until today, 530,000 in-depth interviews with 140,000 people aged 50 or older from 28 European countries and Israel have been conducted in nine waves of data collection. According to its current statutes, SHARE would have ended in 2024 with its tenth wave.
However, SHARE has consistently increased its productivity in producing scientific output and support for evidence-based policy advice. In its SHARE-ERIC Council Meeting on 17 May 2022, the members of the SHARE-ERIC Council therefore unanimously adopted the decision to extend the duration of SHARE-ERIC beyond 2024.
In 2011, SHARE became the first European Research Infrastructure Consortium (ERIC) ever. Over the past years, SHARE has proven its value multiple times. The risks to health even in modern times became obvious during the COVID-19 pandemic. SHARE reacted quickly and established two telephone surveys (Corona Survey 1 and 2). The released data allows researchers to examine the pandemicâs effects on peopleÂŽs economic situation, social relationships and health. Furthermore, the effects of demographic change in EuropeÂŽs ageing societies are getting dramatic with the baby boomers retirement. Therefore, SHAREÂŽs longitudinal data, cross-country comparisons and research with a lifecycle perspective are needed to investigate how people cope with a changing world â who gains and who loses.
Foundation for the Councilâs decision and a first step to long-term sustainability was the creation of the SHARE Berlin Institute in March 2022, which will house the international coordination of SHARE. Both processes - the move of SHARE from Munich to Berlin with the founding of the SHARE Berlin Institute and the continuation of SHARE-ERIC beyond 2024 - are key steps to sustain the SHARE research infrastructure with a stable central organization.
The Survey of Health, Ageing and Retirement in Europe (SHARE) will enrich the science location Berlin. The founding partners now signed the partnership agreement for the new SHARE Berlin Institute. SHARE will in future be embedded in a collaboration of four leading research institutions: the WZB Berlin Social Science Center, the German Institute for Economic Research (DIW Berlin), the CharitĂ© â UniversitĂ€tsmedizin Berlin and the German Centre of Gerontology - Deutsches Zentrum fĂŒr Altersfragen (DZA). The new institute will also work closely with the Robert-Koch-Institute (RKI).
The new institute is a positive signal for the Berlin research landscape. It will strengthen Berlin as a hub for international, data-based research. Thanks to its participating leading research institutions, the research network will also advance interdisciplinary and international research in Germany.
Objective health measures have been an important part of SHARE from its beginning. In its eighth Wave, SHARE implemented the collection of thigh-worn accelerometer data to objectively measure physical behaviour of respondents aged 50 years or older. In June 2021, the first scientific version of these accelerometer data was made available as part of Release 1.0.0 of SHARE Wave 8. Since February 2022, updated accelerometer data are available within SHARE Release 8.0.0.
During the main fieldwork of SHAREâs Wave 8 â in 2019 and 2020 â a subsample of SHARE respondents participated in the accelerometry project in the following ten countries: Denmark, Sweden, Italy, Spain, Czech Republic, Poland, Slovenia, Belgium, France, and Germany. Drawing the accelerometry subsample in the North, South, East and West of Europe ensured a geographic variation.
During their participation in the main SHARE interview, participants in the accelerometry project were asked to wear an accelerometer on the thigh for eight consecutive days, day and night, if possible without breaks. Their activity was recorded and stored by the device. After the wearing period, the participants sent the accelerometers to SHARE, where the projectâs researchers extracted the collected data. In March 2020, the entire fieldwork â including accelerometer measurements â was stopped due to the COVID-19 pandemic. Nevertheless, valid accelerometer data have been collected from 856 respondents.
SHARE Central processed the raw accelerometer data to provide SHARE registered users aggregated measures for activity on different levels, e.g. per hour and day. Data processing was performed with GGIR, an open-source software that enables to compute various metrics of activity.
In June 2021, the first scientific version of these generated modules was made available as part of Release 1.0.0 of SHARE Wave 8. Since February 2022 release 8.0.0 is available. This new release comprises an update of the generated accelerometer modules. Minor revisions include minor changes to metrics: An updated version of GGIR was used as well as some new variables in the dataset on day-level activity, namely indicators for most and least active 8 and 16 hours of the day. The major advancement in the new release is the detailed information that is now provided in the so called âepochâ datasets. For each respondent a dataset is available that indicates physical activity (i.e. average acceleration) in 5-second intervals (so-called âepochsâ) over the whole observation time. Therefore, acceleration data on epoch level enable to look at activity profiles in detail, e.g. for diurnal activity patterns.
The following generated modules in the SHARE dataset comprise the accelerometer data: âgv_accelerometer_totalâ, âgv_accelerometer_dayâ, âgv_accelerometer_hourâ, and âgv_accelerometer_epochsâ.
During the 6th, the European Research Infrastructure Consortium (ERIC) Network meeting in Helsinki, Finland, all 14 ERICs have agreed to further intensify their collaboration and to set up the ERIC Forum. A Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) for the establishment of the ERIC forum was signed by all 14 ERICs, including SHARE.
In particular, the objectives of the MoU are to identify common challenges and to jointly develop responses to them, to contribute to the further development of the ERIC Regulation and European and international research context, and to foster the visibility, impact and sustainability of ERICs.
The MoU is not legally binding but reflects a spirit of collaboration between the Forum members and is an important step towards future cooperation. According to the MoU, the ERIC forum shall meet twice a year. The next meeting will be held in Graz, Austria in November 2017.
European Research Infrastructure Consortiums (ERICs) are specific legal forms to facilitate the establishment and operation of research infrastructures with European interest. The Survey of Health, Aging and Retirement in Europe (SHARE) became the first European Research Infrastructure Consortium (ERIC) in March 2011. This gives it legal personality and capacity in all EU Member States and other partner countries of the ERIC.
The European Commission announced to support SHARE-ERICâs COVID-19 research project (SHARE-COVID) by funding through Horizon 2020 and the Coronavirus Global Response initiative launched by President Ursula von der Leyen in May 2020.
The non-intended consequences of the epidemic control decisions to contain the COVID-19 pandemic are huge and affect the well-being of European citizens in terms of economics, social relationships and health. SHARE-COVID is aiming to answer recent and future questions about these non-intended effects. The overarching objective of this project is to devise improved health, economic and social policies and to deliver quick results for society for a higher level of preparedness of health systems.
The results will for example help to understand the lockdown effects on health and health behaviours and to analyse labour market implications. Furthermore, the impact of pandemic and lockdown on income and wealth inequality will be investigated. SHARE-COVID research also aims to mitigate the effects of epidemic control decisions on social relationships and to improve future epidemic control measures by taking geographical patterns of the disease and their relationship with social patterns into account. Another aim of SHARE-COVID research is to explore ways to improve the housing and living arrangement choices of the older generation while facing the challenges of a pandemic.
By this, SHARE strives to contribute in making healthcare systems and societies in the EU more resilient to pandemics in terms of prevention, protection and treatment of the population 50+, a most vulnerable part of the population. With this funding, the European Commission is paving the way for SHARE-ERIC to becoming a key component in processing the socio-economic consequences of the Corona pandemic in Europe and beyond.
Tackling the common challenges of ageing societies will be substantially improved by extending the coverage of the SHARE survey to all EU member states. The fact that European societies are continuously ageing, leads to a situation that has never existed before. In order to cope with these unprecedented circumstances, EU wide collaboration is essential. SHARE, the Survey of Health, Ageing and Retirement in Europe is the largest pan-European social science panel study and able to advance this joint process.
The European Commission paved the way to include eight new countries in the survey, because SHARE is an important source of evidence which helps to better cope with challenges in the health, employment and social sector. Ageing is one of the major challenges of the 21st century. Many of the current pension systems in European countries are unsustainable. The costs of health care are steadily rising and intergenerational cohesion seems to be threatened.
SHARE now covers 26 countries of the European Union as well as Switzerland and Israel. Data from England and Ireland are collected in the harmonised studies English Longitudinal Study of Ageing (ELSA) and the Irish Longitudinal Study on Ageing (TILDA). Thus, pan-European research on effects of our ageing societies and their implications can be extended to all EU countries. Thanks to the efforts of the European Commission, SHARE is able to implement a sample size which allows country comparisons for researchers and policy analysts. Even better, many countries enlarge this sample in order to give researchers better possibilities to investigate country specific subjects and to learn more about national challenges of ageing.
The Survey of Health, Ageing and Retirement in Europe (SHARE) invites users to submit proposals for new survey content to be fielded as a short add-on module in Wave 9 of SHARE.
The main data collection for Wave 9 is planned for 2022. The questionnaire for each wave consists of 21 core (panel) modules and several add-on-modules. Topics covered by the add-on modules in previous waves have included: Social Network, Dried Blood Spot Samples, Social Exclusion, Time Expenditure, Saving Regrets, Accelerometry.
We welcome applications from all disciplines represented in SHARE. The proposed module may include survey questions, physical and cognitive tests, or objective health measurements. Administration of the module should not exceed an expected length of 2 minutes. Based on internal and external review, one add-on module will be selected by a Scientific Evaluation Board. Evaluation criteria are: innovative scientific potential, suitability of module for administration in face-to-face CAPI interviews, use of SHAREÂŽs cross-national and longitudinal design.
Successful applicants are expected to work in close collaboration with the SHARE team regarding questionnaire design, translation, testing and data cleaning at all stages of implementation, and present the add-on module at the Wave 9 kick-off conference in Helsinki, April 1-3, 2020.
They should be aware that the proposed module will be subject to further detailed assessment and possible amendment before being adopted. Moreover, researchers are expected to provide analysis of the module data for the SHARE topline findings publication (SHARE First Results Book or SHARE Working Paper Series) and to publish a peer-reviewed journal article using the data from the module.
Interested researchers can submit their application by filling in the application template and sending it by email to call©share-project.org.
âPanel Innovations and Life Historiesâ is now available online. The new book documents the most important questionnaire innovations, methodological advancements and new procedures introduced during the seventh wave of SHARE.

Demographic change is one of the main challenges of Europe in the 21st century. The problems it creates are complex and can only be understood through intensive observation and analysis over time. SHARE has been created to do this observation â a multidisciplinary, cross-national and longitudinal survey that uses the ânatural laboratoryâ of Europe to better understand the ageing process.
The new book âHealth and socio-economic status over the life courseâ gives an overview of the first results of the new wave 6 and 7 data, which is already used by national, European and global policymakers for optimal policy design. At the book release at Palais des Academies in Brussels, speakers from the European Commission and OECD underlined the policy relevance of SHARE data.
With waves 6 and 7, SHARE has added further valuable pieces to the ageing puzzle. The two new waves drive the number of respondents and interviews to 140.000 and 380.000, respectively, while now covering all 26 continental EU member states plus Switzerland and Israel. Wave 6 deepens the objective measurement of health via biomarkers, wave 7 strengthens SHAREâs longitudinal dimension by collecting life-history data in all 28 countries.
