The Conference of European Statisticians is one of the oldest statistical bodies at global level. Its foundations lay in the times of the League of Nations, which existed between the World War I and World War II. In 1928 was held the First Statistical Conference. In time, the Conference plays a key role in popularization and development of statistics.
Discussions related to the directions of elaboration of methodological guidelines and recommendations for improvement of quality of statistics at national level, as well as for international comparability of data are included in the agenda. Further discussions will be carried on the progress realized in the activity of the implementation of the Strategy of High-level group for the modernisation of the processes linked to the statistics production and statistical services, as well as the directions for action and recommendations in the field of gender equality indicators and statistics of climate change.
