The work program of the Institute is structured on the basis of the following activities:
The Institute started in 1986 a process of reorganization and reorientation of its programs, with the purpose of emphasizing its character as a professional organization, and to establish an adequate balance in the distribution of its efforts in the carrying out of activities of interest for the diverse sectors of the statistical community of the countries in the Region, in coordination with other institutions interested in the statistical development.
One of the first measures then taken was the establishment of a Program of Seminars on Applied Statistics, placed under the orientation of a Permanent Committee created by the Executive Committee. The following events have been held within the framework of this Program:
