COBRA MEETING 29-30 MARCH 2007, ROTTERDAM
On Thursday 29 and Friday 30 March 2007 the COBRA network hosts a meeting
in Rotterdam. Attention will be focussed on the progress that has been
made regarding the survey. This is reflected in a number of presentations
by researchers on survey findings in their home country, a discussion
of the theoretical implications of our research, and a discussion of the
possibilities for integration of the national data sets.
