Population Europe

Population Europe is a collaborative network of Europe’s demographic research institutes and centres.[1][2][3][4] It was founded in 2009. Its aim is to coordinate and strengthen research efforts and to contribute reliable facts and findings to public discussions of population issues.[5][6][7]

The network operates under the auspices of the European Association for Population Studies (EAPS)[8] and is supported by the European Commission.[6]

Population Europe currently includes 25 European research institutes; it further collaborates with institutions working on population and policy issues.[9]

Organization

Population Europe has two branches: the Council of Advisors and the Information Centre.[10] The Council of Advisors assembles researchers.[11] The Information Centre coordinates the dissemination of demographic facts on population trends and policies to a scientific audience, as well as to the general public.[11]

The Population Europe Secretariat is hosted by the Max Planck Society. The Secretariat is situated at the WissenschaftsForum at the Gendarmenmarkt in Berlin.[6]
