Scientific Colloquium Wiesbaden

Since 1992, the Society has organized the Wiesbaden Scientific Colloquium on special issues of economic and social statistics in cooperation with the Federal Statistical Office.

Participants are mainly interested persons and members from the field of official statistics, but also listeners from universities, associations, and business.

The program of the current colloquium – which takes place annually in November – has abstracts and conference documentation (abstracts and/or presentations) of the recent past available on the website of the Federal Statistical Office.
