XXVI IUSSP International Population Conference
Welcome to the home page of the XXVI IUSSP International Population Conference
At the kind invitation of the Moroccan Government, the XXVI IUSSP International Population Conference will be
held at the Palais des Congrès in Marrakech, Morocco. This will be the first IUSSP International Population Conference
to be held on the African continent and in an Arab country.
Marrakech offers state-of-the-art conference
facilities and is a fascinating city in a region well known for its hospitality. The IUSSP and the Moroccan National
Organising Committee (NOC) expect over 1500 participants and warmly invite all members of the population
community to submit a paper/poster proposal and to plan on attending this important international event.
The Conference will open on Sunday, 27 September 2009, and conclude on Friday, 2 October 2009. It will include 220 regular scientific sessions, poster sessions, and training sessions, as well as plenary and debate sessions, side meetings and exhibitions. Simultaneous translation in French and English will be provided for all plenary, debate, regular and training sessions. In addition, simultaneous translation in Arabic will be provided for all plenary and debate sessions and all sessions organized by the Moroccan NOC on population issues in the Arab world.
Scientific Programme
The review process is now complete. Following the initial reviews by organizers, the Organizing Committee has now reviewed the recommendations for overflow and poster sessions as well as the papers submitted directly to them and the Poster Session. Authors of accepted papers and posters may edit their titles and the the short (150-word) abstract online until 15 May 2009. Remember that final papers must be uploaded on the programme website http://iussp2009.princeton.edu by 15 August 2009.

We are particularly grateful to Dr.Germán Rodríguez for developing and adapting the software to our needs and for providing technical support..

Financial Assistance
All participants are encouraged to seek financial support from their own institutions, other national bodies, local representatives of international donors, international institutions and foundations active in the population field. While the IUSSP and the NOC hope to provide a limited number of travel awards, priority for these awards will be given to participants from low-income countries whose paper or poster has been accepted for the scientific programme, or who are serving as chair or discussant, and who are IUSSP members in good standing. Participants who meet the above criteria will be able to apply for financial assistance.
