Scientific use files (SUF)

In the form of de facto anonymised microdata files, the research data centres of the federal government and Länder administrations provide the scientific community with standardised scientific use files (SUFs), which encompass microdata of the most common statistics. The data can be adequately used for a wide range of scientific data analyses. At a price of EUR 65.00, institutions carrying out independent scientific research and analyses can obtain the SUFs from the research data centres.
