European Population Conference 2003. Challenges and Opportunities, Warsaw (Poland), 26-30 August 2003 (provisional dates)

The European Population Conference 2003 (EPC2003) is a general scientific conference on population issues and the challenges and opportunities which these imply for science, society and policy. EPC 2005 will be open to a general audience of people interested or engaged in population issues, either from a scientific, policy, business or more general point of view.
EPC 2003 is organized by EAPS in collaboration with the Warsaw School of Economics and its Institute for Statistics and Demography, the Central Statistical Office of Poland and the Polish Academy of Sciences.

Program
The scientific program of the conference is structured into various themes, to be developed into sets of simultaneous sessions. As regards the latter an open, inviting and largely bottom-up approach is followed, which implies that the number and contents of the sessions will mainly be determined by the participants.
On a provisional basis, the following conference themes are being considered:

• fertility trends and patterns
• families and households
• reproductive health
• health, morbidity and mortality
• regional population dynamics and internal migration
• international migration and migrant populations
• population ageing
• population and policies
• population and development
• quantitative methods and models
• qualitative methods and approaches
• applied demography
• historical demography
• gender and generations
• population and environment
• population and economy
• population and education
• values and norms
• genetics and populations
• emerging issues.
  

At EPC 2003 simultaneous sessions will either be based on oral or poster presentations, to be decided by the Organizing Committee well in advance of the conference. Both types of sessions will be treated on an equal footing, and both types of presentations will require an Abstract to be printed in the Book of Abstracts. A Call for Abstracts will be made in the spring of 2002.

The working language at EPC 2003 will be English. ECP 2003 will convene at the Warsaw Marriott Hotel.

Further information on the conference will be provided in the 1st EPC 2003 Information Bulletin, which is scheduled to appear in the spring of 2002.
