European Master in Official Statistics
The European Master in Official Statistics (EMOS) is a label awarded by the European Statistical System Committee (ESSC) for five years to master’s programmes providing graduate education in the area of official statistics at the European level. It is a shared initiative by Eurostat, the European Statistical System (ESS) and the European System of Central Banks (ESCB), which aims to include official statistics in master’s programme curricula, connect producers of official statistics and academia representatives across Europe and create a pool of highly skilled professional statisticians for recruitment in the ESS and the ESCB.
Partners in the ESS share a common objective of producing high-quality official statistics as well as a need for highly educated employees, aware of the specific field of official statistics. A network bringing together official statistics producers and academia is also an important element of the innovation work in the ESS, creating an opportunity to catalyse innovation and ensure a participatory process.
Eurostat manages the EMOS network as a joint undertaking of universities and their partners in national statistical institutes, central banks, other national statistical authorities, international organisations and other partner organisations producing or dealing with statistics and data. It is a joint project of universities and data producers in Europe, with a network of 33 programmes in 17 countries.
