2025 IUSSP-Mattei Dogan Foundation Award for Comparative Research in Demography

Deadline for Nominations: 2 December 2024

This award honours a scientist of high international renown for the contribution of his or her work to the development of studies of population that draw on perspectives of different disciplines and for the importance that this work has accorded to international comparisons. The award is given to a scholar in mid-career to honour work already completed but also to encourage active researchers to continue their research. The award will be presented during the 30th International Population Conference in Brisbane, Australia. The Awardee will be invited to give a Keynote address during the conference. Previous awardees were Bruno Schoumaker (2021), Anne Gauthier (2017) Gunnar Andersson (2013), Wolfgang Lutz (2009), and Vladimir Shkolnikov (2005). The Mattei Dogan Foundation offers a cash prize of $3,500 to the Awardee.
