The Qualitative Data Archive of the Institute of Philosophy and Sociology of the Polish Academy of Sciences (IFiS PAN) collects and provides access, via the Social Data Repository, to qualitative research materials originating from social research. To enable the sharing of other types of data produced or collected by IFiS PAN researchers, the Institute has created its own collection in the RepOD Open Data Repository.
On 22 October 2025, Maciej Melon, who administers the collection, participated in a meeting of representatives of institutions managing their own collections in RepOD. The aim of the meeting was to present selected collections — including the one maintained by IFiS PAN — and to discuss the principles for verifying shared datasets. Approximately 60 administrators of institutional collections took part in the event. The meeting was organized by the Interdisciplinary Centre for Mathematical and Computational Modelling at the University of Warsaw.
