On behalf of the Young Demographers, in cooperation with the Association for Young Historical Demographers (AYHD), the Geographical Institute and the Department of Demography and Geodemography of the Faculty of Science, Charles University, we would like to invite you to the – omg! – 15th Conference of Young Demographers.
The conference is planned for three days: 7–9 February 2024, and will take place at the Faculty of Science, Charles University, Albertov 6, Prague 2. All participants will have the possibility to present and discuss their current research with colleagues from other countries and fields. Although the conference is mainly focused on (historical) demography, all young (in mind) researchers from various fields of population studies (sociology, epidemiology or maybe even economy) are welcome. The working language of the conference is English.
This year we are reaching FIFTEEN YEARS! In Czechia, this marks the age when you receive your ID and begin your journey into adulthood. While we won't be popping champagne just yet (as 15-year-olds are not allowed to drink ;)), we will, of course, celebrate a bit and we hope you will celebrate with us by submitting the best of your work.
If you are interested in participating, please submit the title of your work, a short abstract in English (maximum 250 words) and 3–5 keywords via the submission form before Friday, 20 October 2023 (only one submission per first author is allowed). In addition, you can indicate whether you would like to submit your work as a poster or oral presentation.
Please note that we intend to give enough space to those who will opt for posters, and we put the same value on both posters and presentations. If you are undecided about the format, we recommend the following: oral presentation for work that is (almost) finished and you primarily want to share its results; poster for work-in-progress that you want to discuss with your colleagues or you are seeking advice for. The poster presentation also includes a 2-3 minute flash presentation (short talk). We would like to dedicate way more space for the poster session than usual; therefore, the number of oral presentations will be limited (you can check out programmes from the past two years to get an idea of the ratio).
You will be informed about acceptance by the beginning of December 2023. Unfortunately, we cannot provide financial support for your transport and other expenditures. However, there is no conference fee.

The program is subject to change.
