About the Lyberg conference

The future of market research offers both challenges and opportunities. 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. Our colleague Lars Lyberg was one of the world's most prominent scholars in the field of survey research. Unfortunately, he passed away in 2021. To honour his memory, and continue the important work that he did, we invite you to the annual Lyberg conference. This year the theme is The future of election polling.

Several world leading researchers will participate and share their views on the developments of election polling. The conference is held in English and there is no admission fee.

About Lars Lyberg

Lars had a successful career. 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.
