Dear colleagues, Please save the date for the upcoming WIC-Colloquium: Onsite only - WIC Colloquium ************************* Anette Baudisch, University of Southern Denmark Future Directions for (Cross-disciplinary) Collaborations in Demography Tuesday, October 18th, 2022 10:00-11:00 (CEST) Venue: ÖAW, Dr. Ignaz Seipel - Platz 2, 1010 Wien, Sitzungssaal, 1st floor Abstract The purpose of this colloquium is twofold. First, to communicate new directions of research at the Danish Center for Population Research in Odense to explore potential areas of common interest with researchers at WIC. These include, among others, research on fertility, regional demography, and the interplay between demography and climate change. And second, to present recent results on mortality patterns and the rate of aging in humans, primates, and other species to discuss if and how existing theories and modeling within evolutionary demography, optimization approaches across disciplines and other approaches may help explain emerging regularities and apparent constraints on the rate of aging.
