This partnership contributed to the technical development of statistical operations within the national and EU framework, ensuring better data collection and analysis on gender equality. One of the key outcomes was the adoption of good interinstitutional cooperation practices, demonstrated through multiple online meetings between INE-Portugal and INE-Norway. These interactions facilitated the sharing of expertise, enhancing the quality and efficiency of statistical methodologies and reinforcing long-term collaboration between both institutions.
