Announcing the Sixth Annual Meeting of the Evolutionary Demography
Society to be held January 10-12 in Miami, FL at the University of
Miami, Coral Gables.
The Evolutionary Demography Society, founded in 2013, is focused on
conceptual integration across disciplines, most notably human demography
and evolutionary biology (but also ecology, sociology, anthropology,
epidemiology, public health). Both demography and evolutionary biology
are quantitative studies of population processes. Human populations are
currently undergoing profound changes in age-structure, age-patterns of
mortality and life expectancy with significant societal and public
health consequences.
We are dedicated to hosting a mix of early/late career participants and
to providing novel organizational techniques to promote scientific
interactions at our conferences across a breadth of fields. The
meetings alternate between Europe and North America. Our first annual
meeting, in 2013 at the University of Southern Denmark in Odense,
Denmark, hosted by Jim Vaupel, attracted more than one hundred
participants and subsequent meetings have been of similar size. They
were held at Stanford University, Stanford, CA; Lunteren, the
Netherlands; the University of Virginia, Charlottesville; and the
Domaine Saint Joseph at Sainte-Foy Les Lyon, Lyon, France. Our goal at
the meetings is to maximize participation and interactions among
researchers.
We do not have concurrent sessions, we have one session with short
presentations: Keynote Speakers give 20 min talks (with 5 additional min
for questions) and lightning speakers give 5 min "lightning" talks (with
3 min for questions). Posters may be submitted in conjunction with talks
or on their own. We have long coffee breaks and ample time for informal
interactions. Usually the afternoon of the last day is devoted to
Workshops.
You are invited to: (a) pre-register on our meeting information website,
(b) book your hotel through links on our meeting information website,
(c) register officially on our fee payment website. Due to payment
