Statistics Portugal and Eurostat are pleased to invite you to access the 11th European Conference on Quality in Official Statistics (Q2024) held in Estoril (Greater Lisbon Area) from 4 to 7 June 2024.
Following a long standing quality-driven tradition in the European statistical community, this conference brought together statisticians, academics, and external stakeholders to promote the dissemination of knowledge and research on emerging issues related to quality in official statistics.
By bringing together different stakeholders together, Q2024 aimed to strengthen and improve cooperation between official statistics and the scientific community — in which students play an important role — and to promote a closer dialogue between users and producers.
Q2024 focused on the role of official statistics as a pillar of democracy and on some of the most challenging issues currently facing the official statistics community.
The conference themes aimed to be broad enough to cover the diversity of challenges faced by the statistical community, while addressing the most relevant dimensions within the field of quality.
Q2024 explored how the institutional framework and the role of innovation and research affect the quality of official statistics, and also focused on the power of data and the capacity of NSIs’ to seize opportunities in a challenging environment.
Given the importance of capacity building in previous editions of the conference, a series of engaging and informative one-day training courses was held on 4 June 2024. These courses were organised around four main pillars: quality management, innovation/data science/AI, dissemination/communication, and the integration of administrative and private data.
The Q2024 website has been designed to keep you updated with the most relevant information about this keystone event.
