Abstract

The integration of academic research and official statistics is important for advancing both fields and improving the quality of data and analyses. This presentation explores the successful collaboration between the National Institute of Statistics (INS) Romania and academic or other statistical institutions, highlighting the mutual benefits derived from this partnership. By bridging expertise in sampling methodologies and statistical applications, these collaborations enhance research methodologies and improve data quality.
A core aspect of this collaboration involves sampling methodologies, which require rigorous research and academic input. By working closely with academic researchers, INS Romania aims to improve its sampling procedures. This partnership not only improves the accuracy and reliability of statistical data but also enriches academic research with real-world applications and data.
Working at the Romanian Academy provides valuable insight into using statistical data, allowing for a comprehensive understanding of the entire statistical process. This dual perspective helps to identify and address key challenges in the field, driving improvements in both data production and utilization.
The uRos (Use of R in Official Statistics) conferences serve as a proof to these collaborative efforts, fostering international cooperation between official statistics bodies and academia. These conferences provide a platform for sharing knowledge, methodologies, and experiences, showcasing how INS Romania collaborates with other national statistical institutes worldwide to enhance the global statistical community.
This presentation will discuss key case studies and initiatives that exemplify effective collaboration between INS Romania and the academic sector, underscoring the importance of such partnerships in driving innovation and excellence in both official statistics and academic research.
