(Wednesday–Friday)
Call for Papers
Dear friends and colleagues,
On behalf of the Young Demographers, 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 17th Conference of Young Demographers.
The conference is planned for three days: 4–6 February 2026, and will take place at the Faculty of Science, Charles University, Albertov 6, Prague 2. All participants can 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.
We are pleased to announce that Prof. Marie-Pier Bergeron Boucher will be joining us as a keynote speaker. Marie-Pier is an associate professor at the Interdisciplinary Centre on Population Dynamics (CPop) at the University of Southern Denmark. She focuses mainly on longevity and aging. The second keynote is TBA, so stay tuned!
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 Monday, 27 October 2025 (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 years to get an idea of the ratio).
A part of the conference will also be the famous competition, this time the Giuliana Award! Preparations for this competition are underway.
You will be informed about acceptance by the beginning of December 2025. Unfortunately, we cannot provide any financial support for your transport and other expenditures. However, there is no conference fee, only a lunch contribution.
For more information, please visit our website.
The program is subject to change.
In case of questions, please feel free to contact us.
We are looking forward to meeting you in Prague!
On behalf of the Organizing Committee
Anna Altová, Kateřina Brázová, Adam Dušek, Klára Hulíková, Barbora Janáková, Lukáš Kahoun, Jitka Slabá, Bety Ukolova
