Longitudinal Education Outcomes data event: Opportunities for Research

Date/Time: Tuesday 13th May 2025 - 10:00am to 3.30pm

Location: University of Warwick - Scarman Conference Centre - Space 24

Organised by: Claire Crawford

Audience: Academics, PhD students and other early career researchers

Join us to find out more about the Longitudinal Education Outcomes (LEO) data – administrative data bringing together education records from schools, colleges and universities with tax and benefit records for all individuals who’ve been to school or college in England since the early 2000s.

Find out more about what’s included in the data – including new developments, such as the addition of university applications data, pseudonymised business identifiers and pandemic-related income support schemes – how to apply for it, and hear some examples of recent and ongoing research using the data.

There will also be an opportunity to get one-to-one support with data applications, or to discuss your own research ideas with our team of expert users.
