The Cyprus Statistical Society (CSS) and the Greek Statistical Institute (GSI) signed a Memorandum of Understanding on 18 September 2026, strengthening the ties between the statistical communities of Cyprus and Greece.

The Memorandum reflects the two organisations’ shared commitment to advancing statistical science across all levels of education, in research and among the wider public. It establishes a framework for academic, scientific and professional cooperation and encourages joint activities among their members.

Areas of cooperation include the promotion of joint research activities, the exchange of scientific publications and educational resources, and the organisation and co-organisation of conferences, workshops, seminars and other scientific events.

Particular emphasis is placed on promoting statistical literacy and improving public understanding of statistics to strengthen the connection between statistical science and society.

The Memorandum will remain in force for five years and may be renewed by mutual written agreement. Its signing marks an important step towards further strengthening the long-standing collaboration between the two organisations and creating new opportunities for their members.
