Dear RN 1 member,
we would like to remind you at two forthcoming events of our Research
Network Ageing in Europe.
First, the Doctoral students´ workshop "Ageing Societies and the Welfare
State" (December 11-12, 2008, VU University Amsterdam, the Netherlands).
For this workshop, we invite PhD-students in sociology and political science
to submit abstracts related to the topic of "Ageing Societies and the Welfare
State". The contributions may be qualitative, quantitative, or conceptual.
Country-comparative studies are especially welcome. During the workshop,
participants will have the opportunity to present their papers and receive
feedback from senior researchers as well as from the other participants.
Abstracts with a maximum of 200 words should be submitted before
September 30, 2008 to Kathrin Komp at [log in to unmask] For more
