Researchers have developed a new interactive tool to view inequality indicators. It allows journalists, policymakers, researchers, and data scientists to visually explore and understand inequalities more precisely than ever.

The Tuesday Dialogues are a series of public, online talks on demographic research and pressing societal issues which have taken place since 2020. Since 2024 they are being organized in collaboration with the Einstein Center Population Diversity in Berlin. 

“We should never underestimate the power of demography”, said Arnstein Aassve, Head of Research at the EU-funded FutuRes Project, at a recent citizen workshop. We can only agree, except that we would like to add: "Never underestimate the knowledge of more than 130 engaged citizens from 20 European countries!". Our researchers went home with wheelbarrows full of policy suggestions to fight ageism.

The Lab streamlines Population Europe's activities, combining practitioners' experience with the latest scientific evidence to identify innovative solutions and best practices to meet the challenges ahead.

Congratulations to Dr. Daniela Vono de Vilhena, the Deputy Executive Secretary of Population Europe, for receiving the 2024 Outreach Award for Communication in Population Science from the European Association for Population Studies.

The "FutuRes" Project is reaching it's midpoint. We continue to foster transdisciplinary exchange to prepare for Europe’s demographic future. There are more innovative events coming up in the project's Policy Lab after the summer! But first, we inform about the activities of the past quarter.
