Presenting and communicating statistics: principles, components and their quality assessment. A proposal

The NTTS (New Techniques and Technologies for Statistics) seminar is an international scientific conference on the impact of new technologies on statistical collection, production and dissemination systems. The conference is intended to stimulate and facilitate the preparation of new innovative projects for the 7th Framework Programme for Research and Development, to encourage co-operation and possible building of consortia by researchers with the aim of enhancing the quality and usefulness of official statistics. NTTS conferences have been organised in 1992, 1995 and 1998. The last one has been organised jointly with the ETK seminar in 2001 in Creta. The conference is combined with the ETK (Exchange of Technology and Know-how) which aims to provide a forum where producers of official statistics and developers of statistical methods and tools can meet, network and identify problems to be solved.
