Quebec Inter-University Centre for Social Statistics (QICSS)-University of Montreal
The Quebec inter-Univesity Centre for Social Statistics (QICSS) offers access to detailed data from large-scale surveys carried out by Statistics Canada and the Institut de la statistique du Québec. It also provides the workspace, equipment and professional as well as technical resources needed to exploit these surveys.
Incorporating seven of Quebec's universities, the QICSS currently includes its six founding institutions - l'Institut national de la recherche scientifique, Concordia University, l'Université Laval, McGill University, l'Université du Québec à Montréal and l'Université de Montréal, where it is located - and l'Université de Sherbrooke, which joined the group in 2004. This association arose from the need for deeper insights into key social questions (family dynamics, child development, social determinants of health, income and poverty issues, integration of immigrants, young people's transition to adulthood, etc.).
