The main activity of ENID is the organization of the ENID Indicators conference series. Following a workshop held in Lisbon in September 2005, three conferences have been now organised in this series:

• Indicators on Science, Technology and Innovation. History and new Perspectives. Lugano, Switzerland, November 2006 (programme).
• Indicators for Policy. Addressing the needs of Stakeholders. Oslo, Norway, May 2008 (programme).
• Paris, France, March 2010.

The aim of the conference series is to provide a forum for discussion an advances in STI indicators around the notion of positioning indicators and focusing on new emerging areas. Besides scholarly presentations, the conference series aims also to promote networking and cooperation between researchers, international organisations and users of STI indicators, to contributing also their relevance for policy making.

The next conference will take place in Paris from the 3rd to the 5th March 2010 on the theme STI Indicators for Policymaking and Strategic Decision; it will be organised by Institut Francilien pour la Recherche, l'Innovation et la Société (IFRIS) with the support of the Université Paris-Est Marne-la-Vallée and of the Observatoire des Sciences et Techniques.
