Work and Job of the Future - Generational diversity

IN PROGRESS

Work on the document "Generational diversity: fostering an inclusive organizational culture in the NSOs' is ongoing. Team will aim to produce draft document by 10 November, to be submitted for the Workshop on the Modernisation of Official Statistics. Next team call is on 2 October.

Webinar on mental well-being

IN PROGRESS

We have received an unprecedented number of registrations for the webinar—1,587 in total—driven largely by participants from Statistics Indonesia, while also attracting strong representation from UNECE member countries.

The webinar will take place on the morning of 30 September. We are currently finalizing the platform to be used and will send the invitation link to all registered participants next week.

Ethical management (Data and Business)

IN PROGRESS

The Ethics document is currently being prepared for publication, which is expected next year.
The first meeting of the Organizing Committee for the Expert Meeting on Ethics in Official Statistics—scheduled to take place on 12–13 March 2026—has already been held, and invitations to the meeting will be sent to countries next week.

Expert Meeting on the Dissemination and Communication of Statistics

IN PROGRESS

Preparations for the DissComm are on track, and we have begun receiving papers for the meeting, which will be posted on the website shortly. Meeting will take place on 5-7 November in Athens.

Supporting Standards


 



 


Interoperability between DDI and SDMX for Data Integration task team

IN PROGRESS

The last call of this group took place in July, and work will resume in September. Having seen a number of case studies/example, the next stage is probably to consider the question of mappings.

Statistical Architecture Framework task team

IN PROGRESS

Work is ongoing. This activity has also branched out into some work looking at steady states.

Webinar on GSIM 2.0 

IN PROGRESS

The webinar on v2.0 of the Generic Statistical Information Model took place on 2 September, and was very successful. It was attended by 134 people, despite not being widely advertised because of constraints on the capacity of MS Teams. The recordings of the presentations were made into youtube videos, as replacements for the training for the previous v1.2) of GSIM.

There have been significant calls for capacity building on GSIM from some member states, and the webinar helps to support some of these activities.

Standards discussion at the ISI Congress in the Netherlands SDMX Global Conference in Rome

Not started

This has been superseded by a proposal submitted to an alternate meeting that more of the group's members are attending. As of the last meeting, we were still waiting for the outcome of abstract selection from the organizers.

Revision of GAMSO

IN PROGRESS

Although work on this was placed on hold for a few months, Chris is working on a proposal to be made to the task team members. If at all possible, this work needs to be concluded by the end of the year.

Survey for stakeholders

IN PROGRESS

There has been a broader survey (done by the CES) of how much our outputs are being used by member states. Many of the Standards Group outputs scored very highly in the results, for example the GSBPM and GAMSO (which is no surprise). Hopefully the recent webinar on GSIM 2.0 will boost it's use in future surveys.

Additionally, the output from one of our recent activities on "Implementation Standards in the Context of GSBPM" also scored very well, which is good to see.
