About

The Hungarian Statistical Association was established in 1922. Due to political reasons its activity – as an independent association – was suspended in 1948. Between 1953 and 1990 the HSA was functioning as a section of the Hungarian Economic Society. The independent Association was re-established in 1990.

Mission and objectives:

• Promote the development of statistical theory and practice; raise the scientific standard of statistics.
• Provide a forum for discussion of theoretical and practical issues of statistics; take an informed position in professional debates.
• Improve understanding between producers and users.
• Maintain relationships with international statistical institutes, federations (such as the ISI, FENStatS, etc.).
