IUSSP Scientific Programme 2010-2013

The scientific programme of the Union is carried out mainly by IUSSP Scientific Panels, which are each responsible for a programme of work on a specific topic. These panels are established by the IUSSP Council and consist of a small group of high level experts with an adequate regional distribution and gender balance. The panels organize two or three activities to consider contexts, trends, and policy implications of key population issues in order to advance and disseminate research.

Please find below a list of current panels. The 2010-2013 Council is also creating new panels and welcomes suggestions from members.
