    Presidency Program

    Presidency Program, Danish Presidency priorities, The Danish Presidency will build on the valuable progress made by previous presidencies. The main priorities will be guided by the 18-month Programme of the Presidency Trio. The Danish Presidency will continue the work of the Polish Presidency, taking into account also recent developments., If not completed, the Danish Presidency will seek to finalize the following legislative dossier:, Proposal for a Regulation of the European Parliament and of the Council on European commercial real estate indicators (CREI), Additionally, the Danish Presidency is prepared to initiate proceedings on the following dossiers, depending on when they are put forward by the Commission:, Proposal for a Regulation of the European Parliament and of the Council on European fishery statistics (EFAS), Amendment of Council Regulation (EC) No 2533/98 concerning the collection of statistical information by the European Central Bank, European Statistical Programme (ESP), Other regulations relevant to official European statistics will also be monitored., Program of the Presidency Trio, The Poland, Denmark and Cyprus Presidency Trio will lead the EU Council Working Party on Statistics from 1 January 2025 to 30 June 2026. Poland starts in January 2025, then Denmark takes over from July to December 2025 and Cyprus completes the term from January to June 2026., The Presidency Trio will collaborate closely with the European Statistical System members and with all other partners. Our plans will build on the work of previous Presidencies and aim to advance pending legislative files, including the proposals for the Regulation on fisheries and aquaculture statistics (EFAS) and the Regulation on commercial real estate indicators (CREI). The plan is flexible and will adjust to the situation and progress in specific areas., The Trio's goal is to address diverse user needs and use of new data sources and technologies to ensure high-quality, accurate, relevant and cost-effective European statistics following the European Statistics Code of Practice while being attentive to minimizing response burden., The Trio partners also intend to contribute to coherent implementation of the revised 223/2009 regulation on European statistics, which provides for the extension of provisions on statistical data sources being, at the same time, a ground for more efficient statistical production., In addition, the Presidency Trio will strive to follow developments in negotiations of non-statistical files with elements related to statistics — with the aim to inform the statistical community and facilitate the elaboration of an adequate position, if necessary.,

    About the Conference

    About the Conference, Change is the only constant , or how to make statistics in a world that doesn’t recognize itself, The overall aim of the Nordic Statistical Meeting (NSM) is to bring statisticians and users of official statistics together to discuss best practices and innovations in the field of statistics - and specifically the challenges facing official statistics in the Nordic countries., The role of official statistics is to provide relevant, independent and trustworthy statistics and data services to a wide range of different users about many different topics in the service of democracy, the economy and the well-being of citizens., Against this background, consecutive Nordic Statistical Meetings have addressed user needs, new trends and future challenges for official statistics, shared experience and discussed solutions on many aspects related to the development, production, quality and delivery of official statistics. Often these challenges were related to ‘standing di-lemmas’ like accuracy vs. timeliness, detail vs. confidentiality, demands for new statis-tics vs. requirements for burden reduction, or how to improve quality and efficiency or strengthen innovation. , During the recent decade, new challenges were added: Declining public trust in public service media and the emergence of ‘fake news’ and ‘alternative facts’ make the provision of trustworthy official statistics all the more important. During the same period of time, the world has gone from one major crisis to another: Effects of climate change, refugee flows, the Covid pandemic, Russia’s war against Ukraine, high infla-tion, increasing economic inequality, artificial intelligence and the impact of ‘tech giants’ in the media landscape. What is happening?, How does this affect our work and our ability to deliver on new information needs? How do we ensure comparability and retain the relevance of existing indicators? How do we identify and communicate the relevant signals and stable reference points among all the noise? And where are the new opportunities among all the problems?, In this context, which by some is described as the ‘acceleration society’, the Nordic NSIs are themselves in the midst of significant transformations: New micro data ser-vices to our users are becoming increasingly important; new types of input data sources are utilized; processes are automated; data and production systems move to the Cloud; AI is moving in; the new generation of statisticians are data scientists as much as they are economists or sociologists – and much of the work is done away from the office. , With this backdrop, the overall aim of the NSM2026 is to bring producers and users of official statistics together to discuss trends and innovations in the current mine field for statistics - and specifically challenges facing official statistics in the Nordics. In addition to plenary sessions with keynote speeches, the conference will consist of presentations and discussions of papers on more specific topics in four parallel themes:

    Themes

    Themes, The overarching theme for NSM26 will be “Change is the only constant.” Below are the conference’s four sub-themes, within which it is possible to submit abstracts and papers., #1 New Data Sources , The landscape for data is changing rapidly, offering new opportunities for official statistics. Traditional surveys and registers are increasingly complemented – or challenged – by new types of data such big data from private actors. This session explores how new data sources can be harnessed to strengthen the relevance, timeliness, and perhaps quality of official statistics., Key themes include: , Access to and collaboration with private data holders, Data quality assessment, Legal, cost, and trust-related issues, How are the Nordic countries making use of new data sources in practice?,  , #2 Product Development, The sessions is about innovation in Official Statistics. The demand for official statistics is expanding and diversifying, while statistical organisations face constant pressure to be more efficient, agile, and user-oriented. Meeting these demands requires innovation in both statistical products and production processes. This session looks at how innovation can drive efficiency, improve quality, and open new possibilities for delivering value to society. , Key themes include:, Development of new statistical products and services, Building innovation capacity and culture within organisations, Re-thinking the NSIs’ role in society: how to respond to new user demands and develop new services, How are the Nordic countries fostering product and process innovation aimed at addressing the new demands?,  , #3 Dissemination and Communication , In an era of information overload, the way official statistics are disseminated and communicated is more important than ever. Citizens, media, businesses, and policymakers all need trustworthy, clear, and timely information – while facing the risk of misinformation and declining trust., This session examines how NSIs can strengthen communication and delivery strategies to ensure impact and maintain credibility., Key themes include: , Communication strategies to counter information overload and strengthen trust, Visualization techniques for wider audiences, Personalization and new channels for delivering data services, Ensuring accessibility and inclusiveness for diverse user groups, How are the Nordic countries rethinking communication and delivery of official statistics?,  , #4 Modernising the Production of Statistics, The production of official statistics is undergoing significant transformation, driven by technological advances, new data sources, growing user demands and budget constraints.  , This session explores how statistical organisations are modernising their production systems to stay relevant and become more efficient, resilient, and future-proof, Key themes include: , Automation and the use of new technologies, including AI, Transition from local systems to cloud-based solutions, Skill requirements (programming, agile, business architects etc.), Automated validation and error correction, How are the Nordic countries addressing this challenge?,  ,
