Call for global action

EFGS call for action to establish a Global Forum for GeoStatistics (GFGS). After the Lisbon 2011 conference the goal has been to cover the whole world of NSIs interested in geostatistics. Brazil will hold the first global conference for GFGS in 2014.

There are no bindings to membership, but national contact persons have to be employees at national statistical institutes (NSIs). All members are invited to annual conferences. The 2012 EFGS conference will be held in Prague, Czech Republic, and the 2013 conference will be held in Sofia, Bulgaria.

EFGS is also on FaceBook, you could find your friends here:
