ACSPRI is committed to supporting empirical social science in Australia. It does this through facilitating access to the extensive holdings of survey data maintained by the Australian Data Archive; running Australia's largest program of social science research training; and providing survey research infrastructure and services through Academics Surveys Australia (ASA).
In addition, ACSPRI helps build a community of practice around social science methodology by hosting national (and, in 2012) international conferences on social science methodology. The next ACSPRI conference will be from 2 to 4 December 2020 in Sydney.
