FENStatS Information

The Federation promotes mutual communication, co-operation and interchange of views among all those interested in statistical sciences, in their scientific principles, in a broad sense and a wide a range of applications as possible and serve as an agency for the dissemination of technical and scientific information among the EU-National Statistical Societies. It aims to promote mutual communication, co-operation, and statistical research in Europe and develop relations of statistics to society, relations to European institutions, and, particularly, the scope to support statistical education diffusion. The Federation of European National Statistical Societies should secure that more European funds will be spent on research and education in statistical sciences by having programs that cater to research and education in statistical sciences and having statistical representatives present in panels where funding is decided. FENStatS also operates a system for accreditation of professional statisticians, at par with ASA’s PStat. The criteria include an MSc in statistics, five years of work experience, competence development, and pedagogical or communication skills. Any statistician fulfilling the criteria is encouraged to apply for accreditation on our application portal: www.fenstats.eu/accreditation.
