ARC Fund organized a roundtable on Measuring the Information Society and problems confronting organizations in Bulgaria that took place at IPSO on 7 November. The event brought together experts from the Ministry of Transport and Communications, ICT Agency, National Statistics Institute, Coordination Centre for Information,
Communication and Management Technologies, and social research agencies.
Participants discussed the needs for IS-related data, compatibility of methodologies and data collection methods, availability of official statistics and public opinion polls, and importance for international benchmarking. The roundtable concluded with a proposal to establish a coordinating mechanism for data collection and monitoring of information society development in Bulgaria. Participants rallied around the idea of creating an information
pool bringing together IS data from various sources (e.g. government agencies, sociological agencies, NGOs, business associations) which could be publicly available through the ISPO portal site.
