During the General Assembly of European Society of Historical Demography on Wednesday 9 December 2020 I was officially elected to serve as a council member for the period 2020-2024.
The ESHD is a scientific society having as its aim the promotion of the study of historical demography in Europe. To achieve this aim, ESHD fosters cooperation between persons interested in or engaged in historical demography studies in Europe, and stimulates interest in population matters in the European Union scientific programmes and agencies as well as among governments, national and international organizations, and the general public. Among its activities, ESHD organices conferences, seminars, symposia and working groups, and publishes and disseminate information dealing with historical demography topics. See also their website.
