News > Events > 2023 > Regional statistics EN REVAMP

The live stream of this online webinar took place on Friday 1 December 2023 from 11.00 to 12.00 CET.

Are you interested in regional statistics and want to learn more about the nomenclature of territorial units for statistics, the so-called NUTS?

During this webinar, you will get valuable insight into European regional statistics.

How can we compare small EU countries like Luxembourg to Germany, which is the most populous one? Comparing regional data is often more informative compared with country data: it may reveal the disparities or similarities between EU members or even within EU countries themselves.

Speakers will give fascinating insights into the lives of the 448 million people living in the EU. They will be covering a variety of topics, from demography to education, labour market, and economy. With the help of interactive visuals, the speakers will show how the EU regions are coping with the green and digital transition.

In addition, you can learn how to make your own statistical map for regions.
