European Conference on Measuring Well-Being and Fostering the Progress of Societies
26-28 June 2012
Paris, France
In preparation of the 4th OECD World Forum, to be held in New Delhi, India on 16-19 October 2012, a series of regional conferences are being organised with the aim to identify concrete deliverables and initiatives that each region could contribute to the agenda of measuring well-being and progress.
The European Conference which will take place on the 26-28 June 2012 is organised by the OECD, in collaboration with e-Frame (European Framework for Measuring Progress) partners and Eurostat.
The Conference will focus on recent activities in the field of measuring progress and well-being, and aims to foster European debate on the wide range of issues related to this agenda. It represents the first milestone for the coordination activities undertaken as part of e-Frame EUFP7 project, and a platform for discussing how best to advance the implementation of the recommendations included in the Final Report of the European Statistical System (ESS) Sponsorship Group on Measuring Progress, Well-Being and Sustainable Development, adopted by the ESS Committee in November 2011.
The Conference will gather around 250-300 policy makers, statisticians, academics, and other stakeholders from the European region who have a specific interest in the field. Its purpose will be to deepen on-going reflection on how to measure well-being and the progress of societies, enhance the relevance of measures and analysis for addressing key policy issues, and lead to concrete outputs, such as establishing frameworks for future cooperation.

Please note that this conference is by invitation only.
