The Workshop

The NIC.br Annual Workshop on Survey Methodology was conceptualized with the objective of promoting capacity-building on quantitative and qualitative approaches used for the production and usage of ICT-related statistics, enhancing the importance of solid and rigorous methods for data collection and use among the ICT data community.

The VIII edition of this 4-day workshop will address “Smart Cities & the Digital Economy”, considering emerging topics related to ICT and the importance of discussing how they can be measured.

Day 1 aims to provide an overview of relevant topics for discussing the digital economy and smart cities, in particular in terms of opportunities and challenges for measurement. Day 2 will allow further discussion on the implications of smart cities and the digital economy and address challenges in measuring e-waste, privacy and cybersecurity. Days 3 and 4 will be composed of a 2-day short course on all the ways to test and evaluate survey questions.

Format

The workshop is composed by lectures and short courses that include interactive activities, practical examples and case studies. No fees are charged and all the course material will be provided at the course.
