Online Discussion on key priorities for EIGE’s Gender Statistics Database

One of EIGE`s aims is to keep the Gender Statistics Database as an up-to-date, useful and relevant tool for its users. 

Thanks to the valuable input received in the previous online discussions and meetings, a set of priorities has been identified to further develop and improve this tool. Starting in 2017, we consider expanding the scope of the database, enlarging the geographical coverage, improving functionalities and actively communicating the data.

Do these priorities reflect your needs? Join the online discussion and let us know how to make the Gender Statistics Database an even more useful tool for your work.

The online discussion takes place on EuroGender, 13 December 2016, 10.00 am - 4.00pm CEST. The page of the online discussion will remain open for your comments the entire day.

The Background document (including proposed priorities) and the Agenda (including questions to be raised during the discussion) can be found under Resource tab.
