Creation

The DGINS conference, short for Directeurs Généraux des Instituts Nationaux Statistiques in French, was established on 15 July 1953 in Luxembourg.

Aim

The DGINS conference is held once a year to discuss an important topic related to the statistical programme or the methods and processes used to produce European statistics.

It is hosted each year by a different national statistical institute (NSI) of the ESS.

The 2024 DGINS conference took place in Estonia on 23 and 24 October 2024 and focused on looking beyond official statistics and on new frontiers for NSIs and the ESS.

The 2025 DGINS conference will take place in Croatia on 22 and 23 October 2025 and will focus on European tourism statistics: A forward looking and innovative response to 21st century user needs.
