This blog is part of the
Wikiprogress series on networks. This week the focus is on the e-Frame European Network on Measuring Progress (eFrameNet).
The e-Frame European Network on Measuring Progress (European Network) was launched at
the European Conference on Measuring Well-Being and Fostering the Progress of Societies,
26-28 June 2012, with the objective to
contribute to the establishment of a European position on the issues related to
methodological and theoretical aspects of new indicators for the measurement of
societal progress and well-being ‘beyond GDP’.
The Network aims to increase the visibility of the findings of
pertinent projects on progressing beyond GDP and to elevate the debate via the
highly global Wikiprogress platform to an international level. The Network is hosted by the Wikiprogress platform and was set up by the Italian National Institute of Statistics. The European Network on Measuring
Progress is an off-shoot of the e-Frame EU FP7 Project.
The European Network's Activities
The Network’s structure allows members to communicate through the e-Frame website and the Wikiprogress platform in order to connect stakeholders, researchers, organisations,
citizens and policymakers in the ongoing debate about what constitutes the most
“accurate” measurement of well-being and societal progress.
The position of the European Network on the Wikiprogress platform
represents a key strength, driving the European local, national and
international debate towards a highly global perspective. The European Network
sits alongside the regional Wikiprogress Africa and Wikiprogress Latin America networks and benefits from the synergies created with Global Progress Research Network (GPRNet), Wikichild and
Wikigender, contributing to discussion at a regional and
subject-specific level.
The European Network forms a community of academics, analysts,
opinion leaders and citizens around the subject of measuring well-being who are able to
contribute to the definition of “better statistics” produced by the European National
Statistics Institutions (EU NSIs). Key members include the EU NSIs, civil
society organisations, academia and research centres.
