What we do
The team plays a leading role in the development of a global statistical system that is radical, ambitious, inclusive and sustainable by mainstreaming big data and data science within National Statistical Organisations (NSO) for the modernisation of Official Statistics.
We work with NSOs, the United Nations, Eurostat and other international organisations to develop and update international standards, build capability and find solutions to common problems by:
- conducting international outreach and bilateral engagement through sharing Campus best practice and experience, establishing strong partnerships with key countries, and exploiting existing initiatives.
- developing capability frameworks and scaling out the Campus’s capability building programmes in collaboration with the UN Statistics Division (UNSD).
- representing the Campus in the UNECE’s Blue Sky Thinking Network and High-Level Group for the Modernisation of Official Statistics.
- leading externally funded projects and consultancies, including the European Statistical System Web Intelligence Hub/Network Platform for web scraped data and the development of a global system for automatic coding of health and cause of death information.
