High-Level Event “Data from and for Society” (3-4 June 2021)

Programme and Presentations / Speakers Short Bios

Statistics Portugal and Eurostat organised the European Statistical System (ESS) high-level seminar on “Data from and for Society”, which was held in virtual format on 3 and 4 June. The event had around 200 registered participants, predominantly from the ESS, but also from Other National Authorities, Sectoral Ministries, International Organisations (European Central Bank, OECD and UNECE), civil society organisations and private enterprises.

The event focused on the relevance and benefits of using public and privately held data in the production of statistics as a contribution to society and on enhancing the value of statistics as a public good. It was open to external speakers, who enriched the discussions with their views and experiences on the subject.

The high-level event was also an opportunity to increase awareness on the importance of accessing and using privately held data for statistical purposes at national and European level.

The speakers' presentations, as well as Commissioner Gentiloni's recorded message and speech of Minister Mariana Vieira da Silva, are now available (included in the "Programme" file above).

We thank all participants and speakers for contributing to this important debate with their lively and insightful inputs.
