Based on his research work at Statistics Netherlands on design-based inference methods for randomized experiments embedded in probability samples he finalized his PhD in Statistics in 2001. In 2005 he became senior methodologist, responsible for coordinating research into model based inference methods. Since 2010 he is an Extended professor of Survey Methodology at Maastricht University. His research interest are sampling, design and analysis of experiments, small area estimation, time series analysis and statistical methods for measuring the effects of redesigns of repeated surveys.

Barry Schouten - After a Master and PhD in Mathematics, Barry Schouten started as junior methodologist at the Methodology Department of Statistics Netherlands in 2002. In 2009, he became a senior methodologist and coordinator for research into primary data collection. His research interests gradually widened from nonresponse reduction and adjustment to multi-mode surveys, measurement error and adaptive survey design. In 2017, he became a professor at Utrecht University, holding a special chair on mixed-mode survey designs. He is one of the coordinators of a joint data collection innovation network (WIN in Dutch) between Statistics Netherlands and Utrecht University that was established in 2016.

Vivian Meertens - Vivian Meertens holds a Master and PhD in Sociology at the University Medical Centre Nijmegen and Interuniversity Centre for Social Theory and Methodology (ICS). After some years working as an associate professor at the department of Social Medical Science, she started as a survey methodologist at Statistics Netherlands in 2007. She has worked on pre-testing and evaluating of mixed mode and mixed device questionnaires for household surveys. Her research interest focuses on developments and pre-testing of several European model questionnaires measuring social phenomena to produce (inter) national social statistics.
