Contextualise an EU research project
Find the project and deliverables in CORDIS, then select Eurostat statistics by dataset code and period for context.
Documents to open in this workflow
This order suggests a starting point; revisit a step if identifiers, dates or versions disagree. Access and reuse terms depend on each service.
Eurostat · Data Browser
Compare European statistical series using dataset codes, dimensions, units and metadata.
What to record
Dataset code, selected dimensions, unit, period, source, extraction date and method note.
Source-specific check
Revisions may change figures; compare extracts using the same scope and method.
Open source portalCORDIS
Find EU framework-funded research projects, participants, reports and published deliverables.
What to record
Project identifier, programme, partners, dates, exact deliverable and version or publication date.
Source-specific check
Funding and stated objectives do not establish completion or commercial adoption.
Open source portaldata.europa.eu
Search datasets indexed by the European data portal.
What to record
Dataset ID and URL, originating catalogue, producer, resource or distribution, date, licence and coverage metadata.
Source-specific check
The portal aggregates metadata; verify the file and terms with the original producer.

Matching condition
Link project identifier, deliverable and period; define the contextual statistical series separately.
If results disagree
Sector trends do not establish project effects; seek evaluation and its method.
Output to produce
Deliverable dossier and contextual indicators.
Separate documentary evidence, demonstrated links between documents and remaining inference. State the owner and review trigger.

Frequently asked questions
What link should be checked before matching results?
Link project identifier, deliverable and period; define the contextual statistical series separately.
What if sources appear to contradict each other?
Sector trends do not establish project effects; seek evaluation and its method.
Do the listed portals provide independent confirmation?
Not necessarily. Identify the producer and underlying document. Two interfaces distributing one item can check transcription but do not establish a fact independently twice.
