Quality Conference, May 14–15 2001

The International Conference on Quality in Official Statistics, Q2001 An international conference on quality issues in official statistics, Q2001, was held in Stockholm on May 14-15, 2001. The conference was jointly organised by Statistics Sweden and Eurostat. During the conference the results of the Leadership Group (LEG) on Quality were presented and discussed. The LEG was led by Statistics Sweden and its members came from eight National Statistical Institutes and Eurostat, and its mandate was to investigate how the European Statistical System and its components can be improved through Quality Management and other efforts. A conference invitation was extended to the survey community at large to assure that also other work of relevance to the LEG would be presented at the conference. The conference attracted some 350 participants from 37 countries and consisted of 39 sessions where invited and contributed papers were presented It was evident from the presentations that Quality Management is attracting more and more interest in statistical agencies around the world and that there is a lot to be learned from experiences others have made.
