  2. Past • Initiated in 2008 • create network of European researchers and practitioners in establishment statistics • exchange ideas and research results • create a critical mass to bring the [European] establishment statistics into a [more active] level • “Inaugurated” at a meeting in Brussels during NTTS, on February 19, 2009 • 25 persons present • a workshop agreed

  3. Past (cont.) • Workshop (EESW09) held in Stockholm, Sweden, September 7 - 9, 2009 • 2.5 days • 54 participants • 27 papers, 1 panel, 3(?) small group discussions (admin data, burden reduction, data collection) • On-line repository/platform • www.enbes.org, since end 2009 • currently leads to enbes.wikispaces.com • content: sci repository, org repository, links to related initiatives, calendar (not updated frequently)

  5. Present (cont.): Purpose & Operation • Goal made more precise • improving cooperation on methodology, theory and applications within European establishment statistics • broad perspective on all aspects of production of establishment statistics and their interaction • focus on three distinct types of stakeholders: official statistics, academia, private sector • no implication of formal membership • A more detailed structure • Steering Committee + three Working Groups

  7. Present (cont.): Purpose & Operation • WG on workshops • the biennial EESW series (European Establishment Statistics Workshop): 2009 Stockholm, 2011 Neuchâtel • methodology: research and applications • networking and planning of further activities • cost-neutral • Ideas for future • identify crucial topics to focus onto within the next two years (that would give real sci. or practical returns) • perhaps more of user side participation desirable

  8. Present (cont.): Purpose & Operation • WG on communication and collaboration • ENBES web site exists (currently a “wiki”, can be redirected) • repositories: scientific and organisational • calendar • pointers to related activities (forthcoming, ongoing, past) • newsletter to approx. 100 participants • an option exists to go over to CROS portal (Eurostat) • Ideas for future • collaboration • more continuous update of the site

  11. Future • ENBES is not formally an organisation • no elections etc • participation and activity 100% voluntary • Therefore, input from ‘members’ even more essential • what do you need/expect/would find useful from ENBES? • what useful may ENBES get from you? • A sidetrack: ICES-5 in Europe?
