getstats is a – 10 year campaign mounted by the Royal Statistical Society with the support of the Nuffield Foundation to improve how we handle numbers – the practical numbers of daily life, business and policy. Statistics are tools that turn data into useful information. They give numbers meaning and help to decode complexity.

What others are saying…

Professor Hans Rosling, Co-founder and Chairman of the Gapminder Foundation (and Presenter of ‘The Joy of Stats’) 

“My basic idea is that the world has changed so much, what people need isn’t more data but a new mindset …countries and corporations alike need to adopt that same data-driven understanding of the world if they are to make sense of the changes we are experiencing in this new century and the opportunities and challenges that lie ahead”
