Overview of the presentation • Overall description of the work • Partners • Budget in euros • Budget in hours • Work packages and involvement
Description of work • The GEOSTAT action is about developing guidelines for datasets and methods to link census 2010/2011 statistics to a common harmonised grid, and is expected to last for a maximum of 24 months in a first phase, with start no later than December 2009. • Building on the network and work made by partners in the European Forum for GeoStatistics (EFGS, www.efgs.ssb.no ), the main objective is to make guidelines for others to follow for making gridded population statistics. • Actions will be taken to change the EFGS to a European Economic Interest Group, to strengthen the capabilities to common works related to national and international geostatistics.
