In the webinar we outline the motivations and the main principles of the Trusted Smart Statistics concept that is under development in the European Statistical System and represents the evolution of official statistics in response to the challenges posed by the new datafied society. Taking stock from the availability of new digital data sources, new technologies and new behaviours, statistical offices are called nowadays to rethink the way they operate in order to reassert their role in modern democratic society. Such evolution entails a fundamental paradigm shift with respect to the legacy model of official statistics production based on traditional data sources. Such complex evolution must be guided by a comprehensive system level view based on clearly spelled design principles.
