Hello everyone
The European Information Association is running a new course on EU
statistics in London on Thursday 26 April.
If you've ever wondered what statistical information is available from
the EU, or what its statistical office Eurostat does or how to find
statistics locally, then this course could be of interest.
The programme is below. The cost of the course is 145 GBP for EIA
members, 195 GBP for non members which includes refreshments, lunch and
documentation. You can book via our website (www.eia.org.uk) or contact
me for a booking form.
Best wishes
