The following workshops will be held for students, researchers, and professors to present learning opportunities on the theory and methods at the heart of demographic study. These workshops will be held regularly (twice a year). You can learn the contents, step-by-step, from elementary to advanced courses.
Number restriction: Maximum of 20 participants in each course (on a first-come-first-served basis)
