GLOBAL INFORMATION SURVEY
March 2017

Welcome to the Global Information Survey!

Founded in 1953, the Giorgios Passolides Centre for Statistical Research is the foremost statistical institute in Selene, tasked with gathering data from around the world to assist class and research efforts for the faculty and students of the University of Byzantium.

Since 1987, the Passolides Centre conducts the Global Information Survey, a collection of diverse data from countries around the world to be used by the University of Byzantium and the Government of Selene, as agreed upon by Chancellor Tsaldaris and Prince Marcus VII in their Memorandum of Understanding that same year.

Originally the Survey was filled by doctoral students at the Passolides Centre. Currently a copy of the Survey is sent to the foreign ministry of each country, and doctoral students complete what information remains missing after the limit to send responses has passed.

Since its first inception, the Survey has been a reliable source of information for students and governments alike, and it is our hope that the March 2017 iteration will carry on with that proud tradition.
