EURHISFIRM
EURHISFIRM is funded by European Research and Innovation programme Horizon 2020.
It strives to design a world-class research infrastructure to collect, merge, extract, collate, align and share detailed historical high-quality firm level data for Europe. To achieve this goal, it develops innovative tools and sparks the “big data” revolution in historical social sciences.
The project meets the need for a benchmark research infrastructure in Europe. It will operate the most comprehensive long-run economic and financial database in the world. The creation of a vibrant European community will support the development of revolutionary responsible innovation technology, which in turn will enable a scientifically reproducible, technically sound and socio-legally robust evidence-base for the stakeholders.
