Purpose and Scope

The purpose of the Community of Practice on Composite Indicators and Scoreboards (CoPCOIN) is to bring together policy analysts and researchers from the European Commission, international organizations, think tanks and the academia, to foster a practical exchange of experiences across a wide range of key policy areas that are monitored through composite indicators and scoreboards.

• How should indices and scoreboards be used for policy and what should be avoided?
• How can indices and scoreboards be communicated to the wider public?

This year’s discussion topics include:

• Multidimensional poverty
• Sustainable Development
• Gender equality
• Risk Management
• Innovation
• Social Progress & Social Rights
• Competitiveness & Attractiveness
• Governance
• Cybersecurity
• Culture & Creativity

CoPCOIN will facilitate collaboration between scientists and policy makers on the sensible development and responsible use of indices and scoreboards, encapsulating the ‘big picture’ on matters that are crucial for the EU and helping to shape policy and monitor progress.
