European Master in Official Statistics (EMOS)

The European Master in Official Statistics (EMOS) is a network of Master programmes providing post-graduate education in official statistics at the European level. EMOS is a joint project of universities and data producers in Europe, with a network of over 30 programmes in around 20 countries. EMOS was set up to strengthen the collaboration within academia and producers of official statistics and help develop professionals able to work with European official data at different levels in the fast-changing production system of the 21st century. The EMOS master's degree is based on learning outcomes which familiarise the graduates with the system of official statistics, production models, statistical methods and dissemination. Universities offering EMOS master's degrees collaborate actively with national statistical institutes and other organisations producing official statistics to reduce the gap between theory and practice. Pertinent topics for master's theses, internships in the area of official statistics, EMOS workshops and webinars offer a relevant mix of skills and knowledge for tomorrow’s official statisticians.
