About
The training (06-08 Nov) will offer the lessons learnt from the JRC assessments on more than 100 well-known composite indicators and scoreboards.
The training is open to all (researchers, policy analysts) with an interest in scoreboards, composite indicators and multi-criteria analysis. No registration fees.
Training Objectives:
- to bring together policy analysts and researchers from the European Commission, international organizations, think tanks and the academia;
- to foster a practical exchange of experiences across a wide range of key policy areas that are monitored through composite indicators and scoreboards;
- to present the concepts of composite indicators and scoreboards and discuss similarities/differences, strengths/weaknesses, policy uses;
- to provide guidelines on shaping the theoretical framework;
- to offer practical examples on the dataset preparation;
- to highlight the implications of the conceptual and methodological choices;
- to underline the importance of conceptual/statistical coherence;
- to offer an Excel-based tool for assessing a composite indicator/scoreboard.
In the following days, 09-10 Nov, the 2017 Annual meeting of Community of Practice on Composite Indicators and Scoreboards will take place.
