The Vienna Institute of Demography (VID) of the Austrian Academy of Sciences (OeAW) is delighted to announce its 2023 Winter School on Population Heterogeneities. It will be held in Vienna, Austria, on 4-5 December 2023 (in person).
The Winter School on Population Heterogeneities is an intensive two-day program designed to enhance students' skills and knowledge in identifying and critically assessing population heterogeneities. It comprises a series of interrelated lecture blocks focusing on the assessment of population heterogeneities in key areas of demographic research such as in healthy survival, migration, and in family demography (details below). An emphasis will be placed on effective research strategies to overcome diverse challenges that may arise when addressing population heterogeneities. In addition, the Winter School will provide technical insights into macro- and micro-level analysis to uncover differences across regions and socioeconomic groups. Major value is placed on interaction between attendees and instructors throughout the course.
By the end of the Winter School, students will have a comprehensive understanding of population heterogeneity and its drivers in different demographic contexts and will be equipped with the skills and knowledge necessary to critically assess data and interpret findings.
The Winter School ties into the theme of this year's Wittgenstein Centre Conference “Exploring Population Heterogeneities” which will take place right after the Winter School (6-7 December 2023). We encourage all applicants to take part in the Conference to further deepen their knowledge.
