The European Statistical System (ESS) is a partnership between Eurostat and national statistical institutes that collects and publishes European statistics. It faces challenges in measuring emerging trends, using new data sources and technologies, and effectively communicating statistics. To address this, the ESS is revamping its website and publications to make statistics more accessible, understandable, interactive, and reusable for different types of users. It is also increasing engagement on social media and direct outreach. Moving forward, the ESS aims to better reflect fast changing data needs and build statistical literacy and trust as facts become less influential.
