Skagerrak Demographic Series

Aim

This seminar is a joint initiative of the Danish, Norwegian, and Swedish Demographic Societies. This seminar series aims to be a regular platform for knowledge exchange and discussion within our demographic community.

We are holding our hour-long meetings on Mondays at 11:00 CET. The seminars are hosted online, with the possibility of attending a hybrid offline location in either Copenhagen (when meetings are organized by DDF), Oslo (when meetings are organized by NDF), or Stockholm (when meetings are organized by SDF).
