In 2018, under the direction of NERC, AMF merged with its sister facility...

CeLSIUS facilitates research access to the ONS Longitudinal Study ('the LS'), a secure data set based on the decennial censuses for England and Wales. It has operated in its current form since 2001 (and under the current institutional and management structure since 2012). The data were originally supported at the Social Statistics Research Unit, City University from 1982, with a support mechanism similar to the current arrangements since 1994. On this basis, we define the RII as 'long-term'. We...
