New network aims to promote the exchange of information and ideas between those running and analysing cohort studies of children in different countries.

A new European network on child cohort studies, EUCCONET, was inaugurated in Strasbourg at the first meeting of its Steering Committee, on May 27, 2008. The European Science Foundation is co-ordinating the funding of this network. The network was proposed to build upon the International Conference on Child Cohort Studies organised by CLS in Oxford in 2006.

The network aims to promote the exchange of information and ideas between those running and analysing cohort studies of children in a number of European countries and beyond. Another international conference is planned towards the end of its five-year funding. Meanwhile it will run approximately two workshops per year and promote exchange visits between studies. Participating studies include several major surveys in Norway, Denmark, France, Ireland , as well as North America and Australia. UK studies  include the Millennium Cohort Study (MCS), Avon Longitudinal Study of Parents and Children, Growing Up in Scotland and Born in Bradford
