PhD conference at the Research School May 14-15 2012!
The Research School in Economic Demography at the Centre for Economic Demography, Lund University will be sponsoring its fifth annual conference for Ph.D. candidates working on demographic issues in May 2012. The conference is intended as an opportunity for Ph.D. candidates to present their research to a group of peers and senior researchers, as well as a forum where a lasting network with others interested in similar topics can be developed. The conference encompasses a very broad definition of economic demography, and welcomes applicants from any of the social and medical sciences working on population issues (e.g. health, mortality, family, migration, labor market). The conference will be organized as a series of sessions where participants present their papers and receive comments from discussants as well as from other participants. All sessions will be in plenum, with focus on providing substantial constructive input into the papers presented.
Who: The conference is primarily intended for Ph.D. students active within Scandinavian universities, but applicants from other countries are also welcome. The conference language will be English. Space is limited to a maximum of 12 participants to ensure adequate time for each paper. A number of established senior researchers from universities throughout Scandinavia will be on hand to provide comments.
When: 14 - 15 May, 2012
Where: Grand Hotel, Mölle (located by the coast, approximately 35 km from Ängelholm/Helsingborg)
Cost: Participation in the conference is free of charge, with the Research School in Economic Demography covering costs for food and lodging. Transportation to and from Mölle will be at the participant’s expense.
Participation is limited. If you are interested in participating, please send your CV (max 2 pages), an abstract of the paper you intend to present, and a short letter of recommendation from your supervisor to Anna.Tegunimataka@ekh.lu.se no later than February 28, 2012.
