The year 2022 is the 30th Anniversary of two milestone sources in survey statistics, Model Assisted Survey Sampling by Carl-Erik Särndal, Bengt Swensson and Jan Wretman (Springer, 1992) and Calibration Estimators in Survey Sampling by Jean-Claude Deville and Carl-Erik Särndal (JASA, 1992).

The session is organized to acknowledge the major impact of these approaches on survey statistics methodology, and especially on official statistics practice. The aim is to share experiences and future views on the methodologies in the various operating environments of the panelists and the audience.
