The 12th Annual Workshop on Formal Demography will be held in person at UC Berkeley from June 1 – 5, 2026, with funding from Eunice Kennedy Shriver National Institute of Child Health and Human Development (R25HD083136) and co-sponsored by the Berkeley Population Center.
The weeklong workshop covers classic topics in formal demography including the analysis of fertility and mortality as well as population dynamics. In addition, each year has a special emphasis topic. This year’s special emphasis topic is on the demography of population decline and aging, including formal demographic models for studying the impact of changes in fertility and the timing of population peaks.
As of March 1st, 2026 we are no longer accepting applications to this workshop. Our selection committee is currently reviewing the applications we received and will notify applicants of their decision in the coming weeks.
