The United Nations World Statistics Day focuses on strengthening the awareness of the essential role played by official statistics in informing the general and professional public. The importance of high-quality data for the functioning of the society and the government is also pointed out by this year’s slogan “Better Data. Better Lives.”

On the occasion of this year’s World Statistics Day, the Statistical Office of the Republic of Slovenia prepared for you – our users of statistical data and information – several interesting products and activities.

Would you like to know what we do at SURS? Visit us on the open doors day!
Our doors will be open for you on 20 October 2015 from 13.00 on. Anyone interested in statistics and in who we are and what we do is invited; and particularly those of you who think that statistics is boring and not useful. Allow us to convince you otherwise.

On the open doors day you will be able to learn everything about our office, data collection, statistical data processing, and searching and practical use of statistical data. The open doors day will be organised in the form of workshops at which participants will be actively involved. We have prepared a lot of fun and interesting contents and all participants will receive practical gifts.

To facilitate organisation, please register your participation by 16 October 2015.

Press conference
Statistical data appear almost daily on the radio, TV, in printed and other media. The media are one of the largest users of our data and information, which with their activity inform the general public about the statistical data. On this occasion, we will organise a special press conference.

A new publication: Better, worse, average
Where is Slovenia better than others? Where is it worse? Where is it average? The publication, which will be released on 20 October to commemorate the World Statistics Day, will offer you a comparison between Slovenia and other European countries.

Once again, you are most warmly invited to celebrate the World Statistics Day with us.
