HLG-MOS Workshop on the Modernization of Official Statistics

HLG-MOS Workshop on the Modernization of Official Statistics

22 - 25 November 2022
Palais des Nations Switzerland

The purpose of the workshop was to ensure that the work is community driven and that activities and initiatives are aligned with the implementation of the HLG‑MOS vision, avoiding duplication and maximising efficiency. The expected outputs are a set of agreed and prioritised implementation actions.

The target audience are statisticians with technical knowledge of modernisation of statistics combined with a broader understanding of the statistical process and its modernisation, including some knowledge about international developments in this area. This includes chief statisticians and representatives of expert groups, projects and initiatives on statistical modernisation. Members of the following groups are invited: The Statistical Modernisation Community, the CES Bureau, the HLG‑MOS, the Executive Board, Modernisation Groups and Modernisation Projects and task teams under the auspices of the HLG‑MOS. Other staff working in areas related to modernisation of official statistics or interested in the work of the HLG‑MOS are also welcome to participate.
