ELSTAT at the Thessaloniki International Fair (TIF)

The Hellenic Statistical Authority (ELSTAT) has maintained a longstanding presence at the Thessaloniki International Fair (TIF), dating back several decades. In recent years, this participation has been a deliberate effort to foster outreach and promote statistical literacy, aiming to engage continuously with users of official statistics and with diverse stakeholders, including social, economic, scientific and institutional groups.

At its TIF pavilion each year, ELSTAT showcases original informational content designed to make statistical data more accessible and engaging for the general public, while underscoring the vital role of official statistics in everyday life.

To enrich the visitor experience, ELSTAT produces annually dedicated publications and thematic brochures that feature infographics, distributed at the stand. Visitors also encounter posters, audiovisual materials and interactive applications, presenting up-to-date data in key areas such as the economy, social conditions, living standards and regional development.

Complementing these displays, ELSTAT promotes its partnerships with universities, research institutes, public bodies and international organizations. It organizes thematic events featuring timely topics and invited speakers from Greece and abroad and introduces innovative statistical tools and applications.

Under its strategic initiative for Fostering Statistical Literacy, ELSTAT annually hosts educational activities for secondary school students from Northern Greece at its pavilion. These sessions aim to familiarize students with the field of statistics, develop their critical thinking and guide them toward the use of reliable data in a creative and learner‑friendly format.

All informational material presented at the stand is available online, organized by year of participation, on the current webpage.
