Transcript Survey by the European Forum for Geostatistics

Survey among NSIs on participation
in the GEOSTAT project
Marja Tammilehto-Luode
Why a SURVEY?
To assist in the planning of a potential joint project of NSIs
 To collect information about geostatistics at NSIs and
especially about willingness of NSIs to participate in a
Multi-Beneficiary Grant Agreement to be signed between
Eurostat and a Consortium of NSIs
 Simple, informal - no official statements - but instead
“educated guesses” on how things stand at an institute
 Initiative made at EFGS meeting in Bled in 2008
 Execution by MTL+ the steering group of EFGS
