Introduction - Participating Countries

List of Financial Contributors

The Luxembourg Income Study (LIS) is a non-profit organization, registered in Luxembourg.

LIS is funded mainly by Luxembourg's Ministry of Culture, Higher Education and Research, and by contributing institutions in several countries.

These contributions enable LIS to carry out its core work: acquiring, harmonizing and documenting datasets; maintaining and upgrading our remote-access system; providing user support; offering training to researchers; and managing our Working Paper series, annual workshops, and Visiting Scholar program.

All of us at LIS are deeply grateful to the many organizations that provide our financing. Without their crucial support, we could not operate.

The individual contributing institutions are listed below.

Please direct all queries related to LIS's funding to Janet Gornick, LIS Director.
