Mobility and knowledge sharing

Several trends in society require an appropriate response from the statistical institutes. For instance, the political pressure to reduce the administrative burden, less willingness to respond to time-consuming questionnaires, the volatility of information, the increasing need for rapid, to-the-point and easily accessible information, the shift to mobile devices, and finally, the increasing importance of social media. The challenge for the statistical institutes is how to fully use their know-how, innovative power and creativity in preparing for the future.
