Transition to the new CBS Microdata Portal

Starting Monday, 27 October, you can manage all questions and project administration related to microdata research at CBS through our new online portal. The platform is designed to improve the project management experience for microdata projects and to make communication with us more efficient. Due to preparations for the transition, you will not be able to submit any research-related requests between 8 and 27 October.

Request stop from 8 to 27 October

From 8 to 27 October it will not be possible to submit changes or other requests to us. However, we will remain available by e-mail for general questions. On 27 October, everyone with an ongoing microdata project will receive login details and a link to the new CBS Microdata Portal. From that moment, you can submit all requests directly through the portal.

Submit requests before 8 October

Do you have requests for your research that must be processed before 27 October? Please make sure to submit these no later than 7 October via microdata@cbs.nl. Unfortunately, requests submitted after that date cannot be processed. Output control will continue as usual during the period from 8 to 27 October.

New portal for administration and questions

The new portal will be launched on 27 October. From then on, all administration and communication with CBS will take place through the portal instead of via e-mail. On the portal you will find, among other things, an overview of your information and projects. In the CBS Microdata Portal you can also:

  • Submit new projects and services
  • Quickly ask questions and review answers
  • Manage your information and projects

Around the launch, we will organize a webinar to introduce the new portal. More information about this will follow soon.

Research can continue as usual

All research can continue as usual during this period, and the microdata environment will remain fully accessible throughout the transition. All information and administration of existing microdata projects known to us as of 8 October will be automatically transferred to the new portal. Users do not need to take any action for this.

Questions or problems?

We apologize for any inconvenience during the transition period. Do you have questions, or does this cause problems for your research? Please let us know at microdata@cbs.nl.
