In addition to lectures, the SGH Doctoral Summer School of Demography will feature hands-on workshops on developing one’s papers and reviewing papers by other scholars. Participants will also have the opportunity to receive feedback on their research proposals from the leading academics engaged in the Doctoral Summer School.

The SGH Doctoral Summer School of Demography will be held in Warsaw, Poland, on September 4-8, 2023.

The event will offer 32 teaching hours of seminars and workshops, including:

  • The inaugural lecture by Francesco Billari on the current socio-economic causes of demographic transition and the associated future challenges

  • Fertility module (Tomáš Sobotka and Kryštof Zeman) - fertility trends, data, measurement and analytical approaches to and the implications of low fertility for wider demographic trends
  • Migration module (Arkadiusz Wiśniowski)  - international migration analysis and bilateral migration estimation, sources of international migration data and their limitations, gravity theory of migration and migration forecasting
  • Workshop on how to prepare a scientific paper
  • Workshop on how to write a review of a scientific paper

The deadline for applications is June 30, 2023.
