"The Future of Our Living Together"
This series of public, online talks on demographic research and pressing societal issues has taken place one Tuesday a month since 2020. Since 2024 they are being organized in collaboration with the Einstein Center Population Diversity in Berlin. The Wissenschaft in Berlin Förderfonds supports this important initiative in a forward-looking field of research.

Tuesday Dialogue Programme
Einstein Center Population Diversity - what is it?
In order to shape people's future opportunities, we need sound knowledge of the complex mechanisms that drive diversity and inequality in a population – at the individual level and in families as well as in the health sector, education or the labour market, in urban as well as rural areas. The Einstein Center Population Diversity is intended to bring together top-level research on this topic for the first time in a joint institution.
The consortium includes a group of internationally renowned scientists working at universities and non-university research institutions in Berlin and Germany. At the European level, the University of Oxford and the network of European research institutes Population Europe are involved in the Einstein Center (an overview of the consortium can be found here).
The Einstein Center is situated in Berlin and benefits from the city's special wealth of excellent research institutions and data providers. Thematically, however, it is not limited to Berlin: National and international comparison and cooperation with international partners will not only increase our knowledge of the mechanisms of diversity and inequality, but also contribute to the international visibility of Berlin as a centre of science and research.
The private sector will play an important role in the development of the Einstein Center Population Diversity from the very beginning. After all, the issues to be researched here are of high social relevance and require an intensive exchange with decision-makers from politics, society, business and science. Partners are to be involved not only in the funding but also in the on-going work of the centre.
