We are
pleased to announce the Demographic
Analysis and Research International Workshop (Demographics
2012)
The rapid improvements last 60 years in science
and especially in medicine, biology and the related fields gave rise to better
conditions of life leading to a higher life span. Improvement also came in the
way we cope with the nature and the natural phenomena. Demography and
demographic analysis and research grow rapidly along with the other scientific
fields and especially the quantitative branches of mathematics, statistics and
more recently the computing methods and techniques. The new methods and
techniques along with the classical qualitative aspects of demography tend to
straighten the theoretical approaches and lead to various applications in the
same or in other scientific fields including social and economic sciences,
insurance and finance thus improving the social welfare of the countries. The
research now is more interdisciplinary and the aim of the Workshop on
Demographics 2012 is to attract people from the academia and practice thus
closing the gap between theory and applications. Presentations expressing the
state-of-the art will be organised.
Quantitative Methods in Demography Workshop
and Tutorial
The Quantitative Methods in Demography Workshop and Tutorial (QMDWT) is focused
on the data analysis and applications of demographic data and mainly population,
death and life table data. Models, methods and techniques of application are
given along with the appropriate computer programs.
All the QMDWT participants will receive a copy of the computer programs used
and related documentation.
The conference participants may subscribe to the
Quantitative Methods in Demography Workshop and Tutorial (QMDWT) free of
charge.
For non-conference participants 150 EUR fees apply for early
registration (before 30 March 2012). Special rates apply for
students.
As the number or participants in the QMDWT is limited please
subscribe as early as possible by filling the QMDWT registration form and return
