1. Read the datasets Terms of Use below which oblige you, among other things, to:

not share this data with anyone else not attempt to identify any of the individuals

2. Choose which datasets you are going to need in your research.
3. Prepare a title and a short description (abstract) of your project.
4. Send us an email at info@demcare.eu (based on the template below) using your institution’ s email. In order to grant you access to the data we need it to contain the template statements.

Before you apply:

1. Be as specific as possible about why you want each data table.
2. In the case of undergraduate and postgraduate students, you should ask your supervisor to complete the form below, and mention you as a supervisee. We cannot collaborate with researchers who do not have a full-time academic contract.
3. If you intend to ask for an alternative collaboration agreement from the default one, explain why you think this is appropriate.
4. The datasets Terms of Use are serious. Please read them all. If you do not follow them we will require you to delete all Dem@Care data, and may ask journals to retract any publications from the period when you did not follow them. In extreme cases we will contact university departments where collaborators work.
