The European Doctoral School of Demography (EDSD) invites applications for school year 2007-08.
The EDSD is an eleven-month program that is offered every year, with the goal to provide doctoral students in demography in Europe with an appropriate basic education.
In the upcoming school year 2007-08 the School will be held at two different locations. The preparatory courses from September to mid-October will be offered at the Max Planck Institute for Demographic Research (MPIDR) in Rostock, Germany, and the core courses from mid-October through July will be held at the Institut national d'études démographiques (INED) in Paris, France.
Students will acquire a solid knowledge base on causes and consequences of demographic change, population data, statistical and mathematical demography, as well as modeling, simulation and forecasting. The program is intended for young researchers at a very early stage in their career, namely in the first year of their doctoral education.
The EDSD does not charge fees, and makes available a number of scholarships to enable students to attend the school’s course program. Students with an excellent MA degree or its equivalent are eligible to apply for a fellowship to the program.
The application deadline for EDSD school year 2007-08 is 1 May 2007.

Please feel free to forward this announcement to young researchers who might be interested in participating in the EDSD program.
