The DFG Infrastructure Priority Program New Data Spaces for the Social Sciences (InfPP) was established in order to meet the challenges of traditional survey research and to make use of newly available data sources. The ENTAILab as the central feature of the InfPP offers infrastructure services, excellent research opportunities and will promote the dissemination of results into existing and emerging research and data provision programs. There are clear upscaling and synergy effects of ENTAILab for the projects within the InfPP, leading to opportunities and successful realizations that - partly due to high costs for individual projects and a lack of infrastructural equipment - would otherwise not exist. By providing the infrastructure for a range of projects at the same time, e.g. the connection to existing data, samples and panels, server capacities, code and tools, expert counseling, and research overviews, we make use of synergies and create added value, while at the same time conducting cross-cutting research on these infrastructures. The measures combined in ENTAILab represent the central and unifying element for the research and development and transfer activities of the priority program. ENTAILab will unlock and sustainably use emerging opportunities of the new data spaces and to meet the requirements of the InfPP in general.
