ECPD Network: Expanding Horizons in Population Diversity Research

Fostering Interdisciplinary Collaboration in Berlin and Beyond

The ECPD consortium represents a group of Berlin-based researchers across seven research institutions who are strongly involved in research and policy work at the national and international level. A main focus is the continued effort to link with community partners for family health in Berlin and foster dialogue with community leaders and policymakers on a national level. For this purpose, the ECPD will benefit from the involvement of Population Europe LINK and its well-established European-wide networks of scholars in relevant fields and the network’s experience in the dissemination of population research to national and international policy audiences. The Berlin University Alliance (BUA) LINK is another strong networking partner that helps us build on the thriving research environment in Berlin.

Additionally, the ECPD will benefit from an extended network of partners including Max Planck Institute for Demographic Research in Rostock, Leverhulme Centre for Demographic Science at Oxford University and further renowned research institutions.

Our network is constantly growing. If you want to connect your organisation to our network, want to propose a collaboration or joined event on the topic of population diversity and family health, please get in touch! We are excited to hearing from you!

 

Scientific Advisory Board

The ECPD Scientific Advisory Board brings together nine leading international scholars who provide strategic guidance and critical feedback on ongoing research and development.
