EAPS European Association for Population Studies

Demographic developments in Europe as well as the causes and consequences of population trends are a challenging field for scientific study and debate. Scientists from a variety of disciplines are actively engaged in the study of European population trends and future prospects. Since a number of the issues addressed are common throughout the world, not only Europeans take a keen interest in population issues in Europe. Also European population experts are working in or on (mainly non-European) developing countries.

In order to promote these studies and to foster the co-operation between those involved, the European Association for Population Studies (EAPS) was founded in 1983. EAPS is a scientific association of individual members and Affiliated Institutions.

EAPS is an international and multidisciplinary forum for population studies with a special focus on Europe's population. It aims to stimulate the interest in population issues among governments, national and international organizations and the general public.

EAPS organizes conferences, seminars, workshops and working groups in close collaboration with its Affiliated Institutions and other organizations. EAPS also disseminates population-related information.
