Our mission
The group was founded in 2026 as an informal initiative to bring together, for the first time in a common venue, the Italian scholars of social statistics, with the aim of giving new momentum to the field through targeted lines of action.
Four goals
- Revitalise the field of social statistics.
- Secure a well-defined, organic recognition of social statistics within the broader field of statistics.
- Build networking among scholars from different institutions, especially early-career researchers.
- Identify the research themes Italian social statisticians are working on.
Coordination
The group is coordinated by Filomena Maggino (Sapienza University of Rome), Simone Di Zio (“G. d’Annunzio” University of Chieti-Pescara) and Massimo Aria (University of Naples Federico II).
