CPC at the British Society for Population Studies conference 2021

The British Society for Population Studies (BSPS) holds an annual conference each September and, like last year, it will be hosted online on 14 and 15 September 2021.

Within the virtual format, sessions will be shorter than at the in-person conference, and are expected to last one hour, with four presentations per session. Appreciating that networking is an integral part of conferences, BSPS is working towards making virtual networking part of this year’s conference. There will also be two ONS sessions on Developments in Official Statistics and two workshops/panel sessions on 13 September.

CPC researchers have been contributing to BSPS by volunteering as strand organisers, submitting papers to present, and chairing sessions. We are delighted that our researcher, Heini Väisänen, has been given the 2021 BSPS early career award, and will be sharing her research on ‘When a pregnancy does not end in a live birth: quantifying the untold stories of sexual and reproductive health’ in the early career plenary.

There is no registration cost associated with the BSPS 2021 virtual conference, but all attendees must have BSPS membership to gain the access codes. Memberships can be renewed on the LSE website.

Attendees of BSPS 2021 can hear more about CPC research in the sessions below, and you can follow our live tweets on twitter, @CPCpopulation or by following the event #BSPS2021.
