Population Europe

Last updated

Population Europe is a collaborative network of Europe's demographic research institutes and centres. [1] [2] [3] [4] It was founded in 2009. Its aim is to coordinate and strengthen research efforts and to contribute reliable facts and findings to public discussions of population issues. [5] [6] [7]

Contents

The network operates under the auspices of the European Association for Population Studies (EAPS) [8] and is supported by the European Commission. [6]

Population Europe currently includes 36 European research institutes; it further collaborates with institutions working on population and policy issues. [9]

Organization

Population Europe has two branches: the Council of Advisors and the Information Centre. [10] The Council of Advisors assembles researchers. [11] The Information Centre coordinates the dissemination of demographic facts on population trends and policies to a scientific audience, as well as to the general public. [11]

The Population Europe Secretariat is hosted by the Max Planck Society. The Secretariat is situated at the WissenschaftsForum at the Gendarmenmarkt in Berlin. [6]
