Norwegian Public Inquiry Commissions Dataset

The dataset is generated from available data (from The National Library of Norway and regjeringen.no) and gives an overview of all Official Norwegian Reports committees and working group, members, and secretaries between 1972 to 2020. It has many similarities to Sikts utvalgsdatabase. The registry is a combination of information from the Official Norwegian Reports, including the members and secretaries occupational title, name, and organizational/institutional affiliation. The dataset includes name of the registered and indirectly identifiable personal information.

The data was collected in connection with the research project EUREX (2016-2020), which was a collaboration between the University of Oslo and Leiden University. The project was funded by the Norwegian Research Council, the ISF-project is internally funded.
