“Understanding recent fertility trends in Europe: What can register data tell us?”
The recent decline in fertility in many countries, including Western and Northern Europe, has raised new questions regarding contemporary fertility behavior. The EAPS Working Group on Register-Based Fertility Research is dedicated to promoting the use of emerging register data to study fertility and family dynamics.
The upcoming meeting of the working group will take place November 17-18, 2025 at University of Antwerp, Belgium, and will feature a scientific program of research presentations and provide opportunities for informal exchange and networking. We invite submissions of research on fertility that leverages register data, whether ongoing or recently completed. Join us in contributing to this vital area of research and engaging in discussions with fellow scholars.
The deadline to submit your short abstract is August 1, 2025 by email to meeting2025@uantwerpen.be.
Abstracts should clearly articulate the research objective, methodology, and key findings in 350 words or less, and include the full names and affiliations of all authors. Submissions will undergo a peer-review process, with accepted abstracts eligible for oral or poster presentations. We encourage researchers at all career stages to submit an abstract. There is no participation fee, but participants are responsible for their own travel and accommodation.
