Poster "How to describe the indicators" (description format)


Posters for each indicator with their general description

The general description of the indicators does not include all elements of the description format. Some of these elements cannot be defined on a general level, as they are part of the concretization of the indicators for a given country. In the project this country-specific concretization of the indicators has been done for Austria, Germany and Switzerland, and the results of this work package are included only in the German version of the publication.
