Conference of European Statistics Stakeholders (CESS)
The CESS 2024 will be held under the theme ‘Beyond GDP agenda: past, present, visions for the future’. It will take place in Paris, France, on 15 and 16 October 2024.

- measuring the cost of greening the economy
- distributive issues

- national accounts and social welfare
- the digital economy
- new sources of data.
The agenda is broad and the conference may address other topics, such as alternative indicators, theoretical and methodological issues as well as new dimensions of analysis.
Participate by submitting a paper via the CESS 2024 call for papers (deadline of 31 May). Proposals which foster and facilitate the exchange between statistics stakeholder’s groups - producers, users, researchers - will be appreciated.
Under the aegis of European Statistical Advisory Committee (ESAC), the 2024 edition is jointly organised by Eurostat, the European Central Bank, the French national statistical office (INSEE), and the Banque de France. It will also involve the Paris School of Economics (PSE) and institutions playing crucial role in the statistical dialogue at national level in France (CNIS, CASD).
