IUSSP Scientific Programme 2007-2009

The scientific programme of the Union is carried out mainly by IUSSP Scientific Panels, which are each responsible for a programme of work on a specific topic. These panels are established by the IUSSP Council and consist of a small group of high level experts with an adequate regional distribution and gender balance. The panels organize two or three activities to consider contexts, trends, and policy implications of key population issues in order to advance and disseminate research.
For the 2007-2009 period, 22 IUSSP scientific panels have been established to address topics ranging across six broad themes of major scientific and policy relevance:
