Old Age in Germany (D80+)

If you want to use the data from D80+ for secondary analysis, please fill out the application form completely - you will receive a copy of your information by email.

Note: The application form will only be activated in the 2nd quarter of 2023 once the FDZ has released the D80+ data for scientific use.

Applications will be granted if the data is to be used for scientific research without commercial purpose. Scientists at universities and publicly funded research institutions, as well as university graduates and students (from master's thesis onwards) can apply for data usage. If the FDZ cannot easily trace the affiliation of the applicants to publicly funded scientific research institutions, additional proof may be requested (e.g. enrollment certificates for theses). For bachelor's theses, the usage request must be made by the supervising university member. If the requested data is to be used for teaching, specific modifications are necessary, these are specified in the data usage agreement.

If your application is permissible, the FDZ-DZA will draw up a data usage agreement, which you will receive in duplicate by post.

As soon as we receive a signed copy of the contract, we will provide you with the requested data. You will receive a username and password which you can use to access the protected download area of the FDZ-DZA website. There you can view and download the desired data.
