The year 2013 was announced to be the International Year of Statistics with the aim to show all over the world how beneficial statistics is.


Main targets of the campaign:

  • to raise public awareness of the influence of statistics on individual areas of life of the society;  
  • to support attractiveness of statistics as a profession especially among the young;
  • to promote creativity and development of statistical science.


The Czech Statistical Office took part in the International Year of Statistics as one of 2 340 institutions from all over the world. Together with them, it aims to make statistics visible as a science that helps in a substantial way to solve national and worldwide issues.

From 2014 the project continues, however, under the title World of Statistics.
