Eurostat regularly organizes training courses for statisticians of environmental statistics, environmental accounts or national accounts departments involved in data compilation of economic-environmental accounts. These courses aim at enhancing the theoretical and practical knowledge related to economic-environmental accounts. Participants should become familiar with the standard methods and instruments of data compilation as well as with recent developments in the particular accounting tool.
In October 3-4, 2013, the training on Material Flow Accounts was held in Vienna at the Institute of Social Ecology. The experts presenting were Nina Eisenmenger and Fridolin Krausmann (Institute for Social Ecology) as well as Aldo Femia (ISTAT). This course focusses on economy-wide Material Flow Accounts and provides participants with theoretical and practical training on the compilation of economy-wide Material Flow Accounts and derived Indicators. The training sessions considers the differences in previous knowledge of participants and provides sufficient space for participants’ specific needs and questions. Focus is given on the data submission via Eurostat's electronic questionnaires. The training workshop is part of an ESTP framework contract on Environment Statistics Trainings, coordinated by Sogeti Luxembourg and contracted by Eurostat.
