New technologies, declining response rates, and a fast-paced environment enable a survey landscape in constant change to flourish.  Quality, curiosity, and innovation are essential components integrated in the very essence of Demoskop.

He first started out working for Professor Tore Dalenius at Stockholm University. Tore introduced Lars to many of the important people in our field and he inspired Lars to work in the international arena. In 1966 Lars moved on to work for Statistics Sweden. Over the years Lars contributed to our field in many ways, he founded the Journal of Official Statistics (JOS), co-authored twelve books and numerous journal articles in the field of Survey Research and Survey Quality, initiated numerous international workshops and conferences, and headed many committees. Lars was Head of the Research and Development Department at Statistics Sweden and a great source of inspiration for many of us working in the field of survey research. He was also Professor at Stockholm University where he encouraged many of his students to start working in Official Statistics. The last years he worked for Demoskop. Lars was a true researcher; he was full of ideas and he always wanted to learn more. He received a number of awards such as the AAPOR (American Association for Public Opinion Research) Award for Exceptionally Distinguished Achievement in 2018. ## Moderator of the conference   ![Karin-Nelson](https://event.demoskop.se/hs-fs/hubfs/Karin-Nelson.jpg?width=257&height=358&name=Karin-Nelson.jpg "Karin-Nelson") ### Karin Nelsson Managing Partner Demoskop AB ## Speakers at the conference   ![Lilli-copy](https://event.demoskop.se/hs-fs/hubfs/Lilli-copy.jpg?width=257&height=358&name=Lilli-copy.jpg "Lilli-copy") ### Lilli Japec PhD, Scientific Advisor, Executive Office, Statistics Sweden ![Johan-Martisson](https://event.demoskop.se/hs-fs/hubfs/Johan-Martisson.jpg?width=257&height=358&name=Johan-Martisson.jpg "Johan-Martisson") ### Johan Martinsson PhD, Associate Professor of Political Science, Director at The SOM Institute, University of Gothenburg ![Måns-Magnusson](https://event.demoskop.se/hs-fs/hubfs/M%C3%A5ns-Magnusson.jpg?width=257&height=358&name=M%C3%A5ns-Magnusson.jpg "Måns-Magnusson") ### Måns Magnusson PhD, Assistant professor in Statistics at Uppsala University   ![Claire-Durand](https://event.demoskop.se/hs-fs/hubfs/Claire-Durand.jpg?width=257&height=358&name=Claire-Durand.jpg "Claire-Durand") ### Claire Durand PhD, Professor, Dept. of Sociology, University of Montreal   ![Joakim-Malmdin](https://event.demoskop.se/hs-fs/hubfs/Joakim-Malmdin.jpg?width=257&height=358&name=Joakim-Malmdin.jpg "Joakim-Malmdin") ### Joakim Malmdin PhL.,Advisor, Statistics Sector, Statistics Center Abu Dhabi ![Jouni-Kuha](https://event.demoskop.se/hs-fs/hubfs/Jouni-Kuha.jpg?width=257&height=358&name=Jouni-Kuha.jpg "Jouni-Kuha") ### Jouni Kuha PhD, Professor of Social Statistics, London School of Economics and Political Science (LSE)   ![Karin-Nelson](https://event.demoskop.se/hs-fs/hubfs/Karin-Nelson.jpg?width=257&height=358&name=Karin-Nelson.jpg "Karin-Nelson") ### Karin Nelsson Managing Partner Demoskop AB Moderator of the conference Demoskop, 2022 ©
