 | French Institute for Demographic Studies (INED) Founded in 1945, the Institut national d’études démographiques (French Institute for Demographic Studies, or INED) stands as one of the major public research institutions in the population sciences. It investigates population issues in all their diversity, disseminates demographic knowledge, and promotes training in and through research. INED’s expertise spans a broad spectrum of scientific disciplines—including not only demography but also sociology, economics, history, geography, statistics, and epidemiology. While a large share of its research concerns France, international comparisons are frequently undertaken and other geographical regions are a strong focus of interest. INED has supported the IUSSP ever since the move to Paris in 2000. |
 | Max Planck Institute for Demographic Research (MPIDR) The Max Planck Institute for Demographic Research (MPIDR) in Rostock, Germany investigates the structure and dynamics of populations. The Institute’s researchers explore issues of political relevance, such as demographic change, aging, fertility, and the redistribution of work over the life course, as well as digitization and the use of new data sources for the estimation of migration flows. The MPIDR is one of the largest demographic research bodies in Europe, and is a worldwide leader in the study of populations. The Institute is part of the Max Planck Society, the internationally renowned German research organization. |
| New York University (NYU), Abu Dhabi Established in partnership between New York University and the emirate of Abu Dhabi, NYU Abu Dhabi has assembled over the past decade a remarkable community of scholars, students, researchers, artists, inventors, and others who have contributed to the growth of the UAE’s capital as a global hub of knowledge and culture, while establishing a new model of higher education for today’s complex world. |
 | Population Foundation of India Founded in 1970 by the late JRD Tata, Population Foundation of India is a leading NGO working in the field of population dynamics, gender equity, and sexual and reproductive health (SRH). It addresses population issues within the context of empowering women, men, and young people, enabling them to make informed decisions about their fertility, health, and well-being. The organization’s approaches include strategic engagement with policymakers, media, and other key stakeholders; knowledge generation and dissemination; leveraging technology; scaling up pilot projects; and social and behavior change communication. Population Foundation of India also collaborates closely with and provides technical support to both national and state governments, as well as other NGOs. |
 | The Hong Kong University of Science and Technology Founded in 1989, the Hong Kong University of Science and Technology (HKUST) was established as a new, research-focused university to support the city’s future ambitions to become a center of knowledge advancement, economic growth and influence in the Pearl River Delta Region, leveraging Hong Kong’s unique status with China who had recently embraced economic reforms. HKUST has risen through the ranks and become a global powerhouse in tertiary education, driven by our continuous pursuit of excellence in everything we do, leaving its mark in life science, engineering, business education, humanities, social science, and much more. |
| Wittgenstein Centre for Demography and Global Human Capital The Wittgenstein Centre for Demography and Global Human Capital is a collaboration among the Austrian Academy of Sciences (ÖAW), the International Institute for Applied Systems Analysis (IIASA) and the University of Vienna. The Centre combines the partners’ strengths in the fields of demography, human capital formation and analysis of the returns to education. It builds on a highly successful collaboration that has already generated significant scientific advances. “Human capital” refers to the human resource base in terms of the number of people and their changing structure by age, gender, location, education, health status, cognitive skills and other relevant characteristics. Our intent is to provide a sound scientific foundation for decision-making at various levels. Scientific advice and guidance are ensured by its International Scientific Advisory Board. |
