Human Mortality Database • 13.06.2022REDIM at HMD Symposium 2022 in Paris

The event is composed of a two-day symposium followed by a one-day seminar (‘satellite meeting’). Under the motto of “Old and New Challenges to Longevity Prospects”, the purpose of the symposium is to present and promote cutting-edge research on mortality and survival, with a special focus on newly emerging challenges like COVID-19, and global and national longevity prospects in times of uncertainty. The satellite meeting is dedicated to the study of subnational mortality.

The REDIM team will present their work at the satellite meeting scheduled for Saturday, 18 June 2022, in the following sessions:
