The 2026 IPDLN Conference will place particular emphasis on empirical studies using population and administrative datasets, the transformative potential of administrative data linkage, methodological innovations that advance the field of population data science, and ethical and legal implications.

“Knowledge exchange”

Population data tends to be inherently national, but we learn so much from international collaboration and knowledge exchange. The IDPLN is one of the most exciting conferences for researchers and policy makers who work with linked population and administrative data.

“Innovations in data and infrastructure”

At ODISSEI, we are really passionate about innovations in data, methods, and infrastructure for social research and this is something we see in the IPDLN community. We want to welcome the whole community to Rotterdam in 2026 so we can showcase the work done here in the Netherlands and learn more about the wonderful developments from across the more than 50 countries that are represented in the IDPLN.

We are seeing rapid and revolutionary developments in the linkage and use of population scale administrative data. The IDPLN is the only conference that covers the technical, legal, methodological, and scientific challenges involved and we are extremely excited at ODISSEI to be hosting the 2026 edition in the city of Rotterdam.
