MPIDR at the Population Association of America Annual Meeting 2015

Several MPIDR researchers will present their work at the Meeting of the Population Association of America, which takes place in San Diego, CA, from April 30 - May 2. The Institute will also have an exihibition booth.

The Population Association of America (PAA) is a non-profit, scientific, professional organization promoting  research on population issues. The Association has nearly 3,000 members, including demographers, sociologists, economists, and public health professionals.

The Annual Meeting of the Association is one of the most important meetings for population researchers and has more than 2,000 people participating each year.
You may meet some of the MPIDR staff at the exhibition booth of the MPIDR, booth number 305 (exhibit floor plan), where you can also get general information about the Institute and about job opportunities at the Institute.
