2013 International Year of Statistics

International Year of Statistics

Statistics — the science of learning from data and of measuring, controlling, and communicating uncertainty — has powerful and far-reaching effects on everyone, yet most people are unaware of how it improves their lives.

2013 is the International Year of Statistics (Statistics2013). NCSES is participating in Statistics2013 to help highlight the contributions of the statistics field. By joining with more than 1,400 organizations in 111 countries in this awareness campaign, NCSES hopes to increase the public’s understanding of the impact statistics has on all aspects of society and to promote statistics as a profession.

NCSES is a federal statistical agency providing data and information on the nation’s research and development activities, its science and engineering workforce, and U.S. competitiveness in science, engineering, technology, and R&D. For more information on the International Year of Statistics, visit www.statistics2013.org.
