The European Master in Official Statistics (EMOS) is a label awarded by the European Statistical System Committee (ESSC) for five years, renewable upon continued fulfilment of EMOS requirements.

The EMOS network comprises 34 programmes in 18 countries and collaborating partners in statistical offices. The network builds on existing and nationally accredited Master programmes which, in line with the EMOS learning outcomes, familiarise the graduates with the system of official statistics, production models, statistical methods and dissemination. EMOS labelled Master programmes actively collaborate with National Statistical Institutes and other producers of official statistics for relevant master thesis topics and internships in the sphere of official statistics.

In the EMOS governance structure, the ESSC is the highest decision making body awarding the EMOS label and appointing members to the EMOS Board. The Board assists the ESSC in developing EMOS, especially in awarding the EMOS label and in quality monitoring of the EMOS Master programmes. The EMOS Board is chaired by Eurostat and consists of 14 members representing both universities and producers of official statistics.
