Dear colleagues: (Apologies for cross-posting)
Would you join survey research and official statistics colleagues for three days of conversation, networking and intensive learning at the Journal of Official Statistics 30th Anniversary Conference: June 10-12, 2015, Stockholm? www.scb.se/jos-anniversary-2015! Together we will be discoursing pressing issues of survey methodology for improving quality of official statistics across the globe as well as looking back 30 years of research addressed by Journal of Official Statistics. As an open access journal, JOS has published since 1985 theoretical and applied articles on survey methodology for statistics production within official statistics, policy decision making, and the economic and social sciences. In keeping with JOS tradition of high quality methodology research, the 30th JOS Anniversary Conference will provide programs, such as plenary sessions, panel discussion, and poster presentations as well as networking opportunities. Short courses offered by leading survey methodologists will cover: Bayesian method (Rod Little), questionnaire design and pretesting (Gordon Willis), survey research using emerging technologies (Trent Buskirk), and nonresponse (Kristen Olson). We also invite you to respond to the Call for Poster Sessions to present your work on current and pressing issues of research in survey methodology for official statistics. Your poster abstract is due by January 15, 2015 Stockholm, the host city in Sweden for the JOS 2015 conference, offers a broad range of opportunities for spending time with colleagues and family.
On behalf of the organizing committee of the JOS anniversary conference.
