Therefore, the webinar will put emphasis on diversity of existing activities with the aim of increasing user satisfaction.
Webinar learning outcomesTo be aware that institutions should have clear dissemination and communication strategies that are compatible one with another but also with the mission, vision and strategic goals of the institution.
To be familiar with the scope and the usage of social media in the European statistical system (ESS).
To evaluate the willingness and preparedness of statistical institutions to change according to the feedback gathered from different user groups.
