Abstract
Today life requires understanding many complex phenomena: globalization, with international trade, value chains, consequences on employment, real incomes; environment protection, quality of life and last but not least sustainability. Glocal is the adjective relating to the connections or relationships between global and local problems, businesses, etc. Moreover Sustainable Development Goals launched by United Nations are tracing an idea of progress that requires new data and statistical analysis to monitor its development and the global and local target to reach. Training the next generation of statisticians with specific competences in statistics and data analysis is clearly urgent. The paper describes the European Master of Official Statistics webinar initiative and experience putting it in the mainstream of remote learning and benefits, and tracking downsides and finally opportunities for the NSI-academia partnership.
