For directly transmitted respiratory pathogens such as influenza, measles and coronaviruses, social mixing patterns shape the risk of individual-level infection [6] and population-level transmission dynamics [29, 18] , as well as the effectiveness of control measures targeted at specific age groups [2] . A landmark dataset of self-reported contacts was the POLYMOD study [22] , which collected social mixing data for 7,290 participants across eight European countries. Here we present high resolution age-specific social mixing matrices based on data from over 40,000 participants, stratified by key characteristics such as contact type and setting. Except for physical contacts, using BBC mixing matrices generally leads to more transmission in adult age-groups (particularly in ages over 25) whereas with POLYMOD dataset school-children are largely responsible for transmission regardless of how we construct the overall matrix.	./cache/cord-102587-fugb778l.txt	./txt/cord-102587-fugb778l.txt
