FORS is a member of CESSDA (Council of European Social Science Data Archives). This organization is a network of European data archives that, as a coordination center, contributes in defining international documentation standards. It also oversees the dissemination of data at the heart of the network and promotes international exchange. FORS’ participation in CESSDA opens access to Swiss researchers to the entirety of data distributed by the archive members. In addition, CESSDA offers on its website a portal which groups all data disseminated by the Nesstar servers of the network of archives.
