The basic goal of the Research Data Centres of the Statistical Offices of the Federation and the Länder is to improve the accessibility and
usability of microdata of official statistics by setting up various ways
of using the data.

The Statistical Office of Saxony has established a branch office of the
Research Data Centres at the TU Dresden. Visiting Scientists can use a
work station to get access to mikrodata. The branch office is located at
the TU Dresden, Chemnitzer Straße 48a, Room 206, 01187 Dresden (Tel.: 0351/463-42279) and is open on Monday and Wednesday.  Please contact the office for other appointments.

• Health and Social Statistics,
• Household and Population Statistics,
• Economic Statistics,
• Financial and Tax Statistics,
• Judicature Statistics and
• Agricultural and Environmental statistics.

In the Statistical Office in Kamenz and in the Dresden branch can be used the entire microdata. On the workstations for visiting scientists, the
anonymized data can be analyzed by SPSS, Stata and SAS.

The focus of the Research Data Centre in Saxony is the consulting service and preparation of microdata in the fields of  Health and Social
Statistics.
