As part of an inter-ministerial consultative committee for social science data, the INED Surveys Department is a member of the Réseau Quetelet. The network's role is three-fold: to develop survey archiving activities, to facilitate the dissemination of survey data and to promote their use among the French and international scientific community.

The INED surveys department contributes actively to this mission:

* first, by documenting and archiving its surveys in partnership with the CAC (Centre des Archives Contemporaines) and the INED archives committee,

* second, by taking part in the various network committees, to which it provides advice and technical assistance.

The Réseau Quetelet is a member of the CESSDA (Council of European Social Science Data Archives) and maintains close relations with the ICSPR (Inter-University Consortium for Political and Social Research).

The three founding partners of the Réseau Quetelet are CDSP (Centre de données socio-politiques), INED and CMH (Centre Maurice Halbwachs). Survey data disseminated by these three bodies can be accessed via the Réseau Quetelet portal.
