Access to Researchers in Eustat centres

It is a service provided by this institute for access to data for scientific purposes.

The locations where the data are accessed from are under maximum security so as to preserve the confidentiality of these data, and are supervised by Eustat technicians.

The access centres are located in the Eustat offices in Vitoria-Gasteiz, Donostia-San Sebastián and Bilbao
