The 7th Annual CeFH Symposium
Event
|Published
Welcome to the 7th Annual Symposium with the Centre for Fertility and Health in Oslo, Norway!
We will host our 7th Annual Symposium on May 15-16th, in Oslo, Norway. The symposium gathers researchers from Norway and abroad with an interest in using our rich national data to understand causes and consequences of changing fertility and family patterns. We aim at arranging a symposium with good opportunities to connect and establish new collaborations.
Registration deadline: Friday, April 30th.
Our Centre is a cross disciplinary Norwegian Centre of Excellence, established at the Norwegian Institute of Public Health in 2017. We aim to create a research atmosphere that results in fruitful collaborations across disciplines and incentivise research that allows a better understanding of fertility patterns and health outcomes than what each discipline can do alone. Our research team consists of experts in disciplines such as epidemiology, demography, genetics, statistics, economics and medicine.
