What is an ESSnet?

‘A network of several ESS organisations aimed at providing results that will be beneficial to the whole ESS’

1. Several partners. Results to non-participating countries.

2. Issues of European interest

3. Compatible with 5 Year Programme

4. Cost-effective (avoid duplication)

5. Knowledge sharing, innovation, harmonisation

6. Sustainability

7. ESS organisations in partnership

Coverage of an ESSnet action

Methodological activities. – development of tools for a specific phase of statistical production– drafting of guidelines– establishment of standards– improving data quality – testing new methods of gathering or producing information – Etc..

Provided there is substantial methodological and development work

Not be used for the production process Over a limited period of up to 4 years Countries outsourcing some specific production

processes to only one member do not qualify

Knowledge Transfer and Dissemination An ESSNet core task:

– Establishment of a Website for disseminating results

– Training sessions to non members

– Workshops, Handbooks or manuals for implementation

– Development of methodological and IT tools made available

– Provision of customised support for implementation

Present ideas to ensure inclusion of non-participating MS after the end of the project

Eurostat could eventually finance a more limited action for implementation in additional non participating NSIs

Additional evaluation of the project ( one year after the end of the contract) to assess the proposed actions for disseminating the results
