The European Master in Official Statistics (EMOS) is a label awarded by the European Statistical System Committee (ESSC) to master’s programmes providing postgraduate education in the area of official statistics. It is a shared initiative by Eurostat, the European Statistical System (ESS) and the European System of Central Banks (ESCB), which aims to educate students in official statistics and data science to become highly skilled statisticians with expertise in official statistics, and facilitate the exchange of knowledge and experience between the European producers of official statistics and lecturers, researchers, and students in this field.
Since January 2022, Eurostat offers researchers (affiliated with accredited research entities in Europe) a solution to access remotely the secure use files of Community Innovation Survey (CIS) and Structure of Earnings Survey (SES). So far, this was only possible on site in the Eurostat safe centre. In order to be granted remote access, research entities have to follow the accreditation procedure.
