Description: The United Nations Statistics Division and Statistics Canada are jointly organizing a technical workshop in Ottawa, Canada, from 9 to 11 September 2025, aimed at shaping an integrated and forward-looking statistical system that fosters more effective, inclusive, and evidence-based policymaking. The workshop will focus on strengthening countries' capacities to produce social and demographic statistics that more accurately reflect complex societal issues and their interlinkages with the economy and the environment.
Description: The ISI World Statistics Congresses (WSC) take place once every two years in different countries. Though organized by the ISI, we work closely with the country’s National Statistics Office and Society. The WSCs and their associated events are the highpoint of activities of the ISI where all our Associations, Committees, members and participants involved in statistics worldwide come together to participate in the many different activities and highlights of the WSC for an entire week and associated activities immediately before or after this week. Each WSC has a rich Scientific Programme that include invited paper sessions (IPS) and contributed paper/poster sessions (CPS). A full Administrative Programme includes meetings of the Executive Committees, Councils, General Assemblies and Committees of the ISI and the Associations, and special interest meetings relevant to the particular WSC. The Social Programme makes the WSC an event to remember and gives participants a flavour of the culture of the host country. The Social Programme also includes daytime activities for accompanying persons. Associated with the WSC are Satellite Meetings and Short Courses of the ISI and the Associations. These take place in or close to the host city before and after the main WSC week and combine with the WSC to provide an overall outstanding international statistical event which is memorable in every way.
