The Vienna Institute of Demography is organising the Wittgenstein Centre Conference 2025 on November 19th to 21st 2025.
The Vienna Institute of Demography strives for the combination of scientific excellence with proactive relevance in analysing and projecting demographic trends and in evaluating the social and economic consequences of population ageing.
Thus, the VID combines innovative methodological work with empirical analysis and communication of scientifically based insights. It gives special attention to the demography of Austria and to European comparative analysis. The Institute is embedded in the structure of the Austrian Academy of Sciences.
The Wittgenstein Centre Conference on “Demographic Perspectives on Migration in the 21st Century” invites scholars from around the world to explore these critical intersections and to foster discussions on the demographic drivers of migration and the profound demographic transformations it sets in motion in both origin and destination societies.
We welcome research from various disciplines, including but not limited to demography, economics, sociology, geography, and environmental sciences. Submissions should focus on current and forward-looking analyses, methodological innovations and modelling of migration as well as comparative research investigating demographic outcomes of different groups of migrants in both origin and destination societies.
Interested candidates can submit their work through this link.
For any queries, please contact at conference.vid@oeaw.ac.at.
