Hopefully, you will be able to join us online via Zoom. See details below for the event: Title: Statistics for the Public Good Date/Time: 9th October 2pm Speaker: Professor Sir Ian Diamond Registration: Please register via the RSS webpage: https://rss.org.uk/training-events/events/events-2020/local-groups-meetings/statistics-for-the-public-good/#eventoverview Abstract: The COVID-19 pandemic has reinvigorated the necessity for data driven decision making. At the same time, it has called for greater innovation and collaboration in order to provide timely insights into complex, multidisciplinary issues. This presentation shall focus on how the Government Statistical Service (GSS) has had to adapt at pace in order to understand, mitigate and monitor the impact of COVID-19 on society and the economy. As well as this, the presentation will explore how the opportunities that have presented themselves over the course of the pandemic can be built upon through the launch of the new GSS strategy, Statistics for the Public Good, which will govern all that we do for the next five years and beyond.
