Permanently open call with annual cut-off dates for universities applying for the EMOS label
This permanently open call for applications seeks to give an opportunity for interested universities to join the EMOS network. The call remains permanently open with cut-off date of 31 December of each calendar year.
EMOS builds on existing nationally accredited master’s programmes in order to meet EMOS learning outcomes that enhance the abilities of students to understand and to be able to analyse European official data at different levels: quality, production process, dissemination, and analysis in a national, European and international context. Universities offering EMOS master’s degrees are expected to collaborate actively with National Statistical Institutes or other producers of official statistics to reduce the gap between theory and practice. The eligibility conditions are defined in the EMOS Guide for Applicants.
Universities are invited to submit their applications complete with accompanying documents as described in the EMOS Guide for applicants (updated in July 2025) and with the EMOS application form by 31 December of the current year. Should you have any questions, please contact the EMOS Secretariat at ESTAT-EMOS@ec.europa.eu.
Applications must be completed in English. Supporting documents may be submitted in official languages of the applicant’s country with mandatory translation [1] into English. Personal data will be collected, processed and published in accordance with the provisions of Regulation (EU) No (EU) 2018/1725.
The applications for the EMOS label will be assessed by the EMOS Board in the first quarter of the following year, and short-listed master’s programmes will be proposed for award of the EMOS label by the European Statistical System Committee in May of the following year.
[1] Official translation is not mandatory, for longer documents a summary in English is acceptable. The Board reserves the right to ask for more detailed translation and complementary information.
