For more information see the event website and the IAOS Contribution of the ISI Newsletter (2/2004)
In conjunction with the ISI 2005 Conference to be held in Sydney, Australia, the IAOS satellite meeting on challenges in measuring small and indigenous populations will be held in Wellington, New Zealand, on 14-15 April, 2005.
New Zealand is famous for its alpine wilderness scenery, pristine beaches and a huge range of sporting and cultural activities available for visitors. Wellington is the capital city of New Zealand, and was the site of the recent world premiere of the Lord of the Rings. It is just under three hours flight from Sydney, Australia.
The Conference venue will be Te Papa Tongarewa, New Zealand's national museum, which is situated close to all facilities, is right on the waterfront in Wellington and has high quality conference facilities. The satellite meeting will be hosted by Statistics New Zealand, the national statistical organisation of New Zealand.
Proposals for papers are invited on topics related to the conference theme. While the main focus is on methodological issues, the satellite conference will also be of direct interest to economic and social researchers as the theme encompasses the challenges of measuring small domains in economic, social and population statistics.
Among the themes likely to be covered by papers are: statistical methods used to collect information in censuses or other large scale surveys, measurement and improvement of data quality, the derivation of indicators on indigenous populations, communities or subnational areas, statistical use of administrative data sources, experience with data integration initiatives, small area estimation, and other new developments in satisfying the growing demand for disaggregated statistical measures.
If you are interested in presenting a paper please contact the conference organisers. All enquiries should be addressed to Mansoor Khawaja, Chief Demographer, Statistics New Zealand, Private Bag 4741, Christchurch, New Zealand; Email: ISIsatellite@stats.govt.nz or Telephone. ++64 3 9648794
The Statistics New Zealand event website will carry further information on the satellite Meeting, including details of registration, the availability and details of accommodation, and links to other sites of interest.
