The recording of the 23 June 2026 CASD DATA TECH webinar on DuckDB is now available online, covering its vectorized architecture, user-friendly SQL syntax, RAM/disk optimization, window functions, complementarity with R, and extension ecosystem.
As part of verifying compliance with its ISO-based security policy, CASD will conduct a campaign of on-site visits to SD-Box hosting locations to check, in line with HEBFI contracts, the boxes’ placement, display positioning, and physical integrity.
The ASP/CNIS international conference on 19 June 2026 brought together nearly 300 people to examine the growing threats to the professional independence of public statistics posed by rising populism, declining resources, and challenges to rationality, while highlighting the solidity of the European statistical system and the need for a coalition with research and users to defend this democratic common good.
A new pilot agreement between CASD and Germany’s FDZ/IAB now allows French and German data to be combined within the same secure research environment, accessible via SD-Box, demonstrating the feasibility of jointly and securely exploiting granular international data in compliance with GDPR.
