Eurostat's release calendar is also available as an internet calendar in .ics format.

This allows you to easily include our release calendar in the most popular calendar applications, like Outlook, Google calendar, etc. You can include the whole calendar or just a selection for a specific statistical theme or release category. 

When is the internet calendar updated?

It is updated every time when Eurostat updates the release calendar. Updates will automatically be included in your own calendar.

What information does the internet calendar provide?

The internet calendar provides the same information as the online release calendar. It also provides a direct link pointing to the relevant week in the online release calendar.

Once you have filtered by statistical theme and release category, please press the button to copy the URL, together with the relevant parameters. You will then need to add this to your calendar client, following the steps below for Outlook or something similar for other calendar clients. If you do not apply any filters, all release dates in the calendar will be added. It might then take slightly longer to add this to your calendar.
