UNECE Expert Meeting on Dissemination and Communication of Statistics, online

UNECE Expert Meeting on Dissemination and Communication of Statistics, online

11 - 14 October 2021

The 2021 Workshop on Statistical Data Dissemination and Communication will be hosted by Statistics Portugal in Lisbon, on 13-15 October 2021. Due to the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic it is uncertain if the workshop can be organized in person. By the end of August a final decision will be made. In case an in-person workshop is not possible, it will be changed into an online (only) workshop in the same week.  The focus of the workshop will be on cutting edge ideas, new trends, experiments, and approaches in the areas of statistical data dissemination and communication. In addition to the traditional presentations, the agenda of the workshop will include target-driven small group discussions and a participatory exercise. The programme of the meeting will aim to cover the following topics:

  • Reaching potential audiences: broadening audiences
  • Employee engagement and involvement
  • Communication on the fast track
  • Measuring the effectiveness of communications
