The 2nd International Workshop on a European Masters in Official Statistics will be organized in 26 - 27 June 2014 in Helsinki, Finland. The workshop is intended to develop further the programme of study for a European Master in Official Statistics. The first Workshop was organized in 2010 in Southampton, UK.

Participation to the Workshop is expected from Universities and National Statistical Institutes (NSIs) from European Union member countries, candidate countries and other European countries.

EMOS

The European Master in Official Statistics (EMOS) is an infrastructure project and aims at developing a programme for training and education in official statistics. In broad terms, the EMOS would provide certified training in methodologies, statistical surveys, statistical production, analysis and statistical law and should be offered by a network of NSIs and Universities.

In order to reach this goal, Eurostat launched a feasibility study "Towards a European Master in Official Statistics". Further, a Group of Experts (GExp) from Universities and National Statistical Institutes and a Task Force were established to accompany the feasibility study and develop a concrete draft of curricula and labelling rules on basis of the feasibility study.

At the 2nd International Workshop on a European Masters in Official Statistics, the concepts of EMOS are to be presented to the international community.

EMOS was discussed at the 21st Meeting of the European Statistical System Committee (ESSC) on 14 May 2014.
