European Population Conference EPC'2003

The European Population Conference 2003 was a general scientific conference on population issues which were relevant to Europe. The conference was open to people who were interested or engaged in population issues either from a scientific, policy, business or a more general point of view. Although its main aim was to provide insights into European population trends, patterns and contexts of population change, also more global population issues were addressed.

The particular scope of the conference was "the new demography of Europe", including both the European demographic situation after the second demographic transition and implicationas of the enlargement of the European Union.

The conference was organized by the European Association for Population Studies (EAPS) in collaboration with the Institute of Statistics and Demography, Warsaw School of Economics-SGH, the Polish Academy of Sciences, the Central Statistical Office of Poland, the Polish Demographic Society and the Polish Governmental Population Council under the honorary auspices of President of the Republic of Poland, His Excellency Aleksander Kwaśniewski.
