2 Introduction The fourth Conference on Data Quality for International Organisations will be held on 6 and 7 May 2010 in Helsinki, Finland, immediately after the Q2010 European Conference on Quality in Official Statistics (which will also take place in Helsinki, but from 4 to 6 May 2010). It will be held under the auspices of the Committee for the Coordination of Statistical Activities (CCSA). Previous conferences on data quality for international organisations were held in: 2008 in Rome, Italy (7 and 8 July); 2006 in Newport, United Kingdom (27 and 28 April); and 2004 in Wiesbaden, Germany (27 and 28 May). The purpose of these conferences which are dedicated to data quality is to provide statistical experts from international or supra-national organisations with a forum to discuss specific data quality issues related to their work and to exchange experiences regarding the various quality mechanisms developed for improving the collection and dissemination of data. The main focus of the 2010 conference will be on how international support for the development of National Quality Assurance Frameworks can be provided. The discussions at this year's meeting, therefore, will reflect upon the proposals made by Statistics Canada in its programme review on National Quality Assurance Frameworks for the UN Statistical Commission (see document E/CN.3/2010/2 from the forty-first session of the Statistical Commission, ; see also ). It is anticipated that international organisations staff who are expected to play an active role in quality management in their organisations, and/or who will be the ones to provide support to countries on this issue will be among the participants. Upon invitation, national statistical experts are welcome to participate and contribute by sharing their needs and expectations vis-à-vis support from international organisations on the development of national quality assurance frameworks and by describing how good practices of quality management gained at the national level can be extended to the international area of work. 1
