Every year, the ECD offers an exciting opportunity to witness
econometrics in action through our Field Trip, where we explore how this powerful tool is used in unexpected fields. It is a chance to gain first-hand experience and see the impact of econometrics beyond traditional industries. Past attendees have found this event incredibly inspiring, so do not miss out!
This year, we are visiting the Information Analysis Team (IAT), a unique collaboration established in 2018 by the Netherlands Police Force Command Team and the Minister of Justice and Security. The IAT brings together experts from the police, the ministry, and the Netherlands Statistical Bureau (CBS) to form a hybrid team focuse on conducting in-depth quantitative analyses on social, safety, and policing issues. They also continuously monitor these areas to track developments over time. Their work provides crucial insights that shape strategic management decisions for the police force and serve as key inputs for discussions between the Commissioner and the Minister.
This field trip is a rare opportunity to see how econometrics can influence public policy and contribute to enhancing societal safety. Join us to explore the intersection of data, policy, and security and discover how your skills could make a real-world impact.
