Vaupel researchers from all over the world investigate demographic change, aging, fertility, biological demography and other issues at the forefront of population research. The MPIDR is part of the Max Planck Society, the internationally renowned German research society.
International Union for the Scientific Study of Population (IUSSP)
The International Union for the Scientific Study of Population (IUSSP) promotes scientific studies of demography and population-related issues. Originally founded in 1928 and reconstituted in 1947, the IUSSP is the leading international professional association for individuals interested in population studies. The IUSSP network includes over 2000 members world-wide. The IUSSP's main goal is to foster relations between persons engaged in the study of demography, and stimulate interest in demographic matters among governments, national and international organisations, scientific bodies and the general public.
International Max Planck Research School for Demography (IMPRSD)
The International Max Planck Research School for Demography (IMPRSD) is Europe's largest collaborative international program of research training in population studies. The School is not a degree-awarding body, but a network of leading researchers who work together to provide a more complete set of high-level courses and associated research supervision than any one institution can provide alone. IMPRSD provides a unique opportunity for research training, combining coursework and research. The members of the School's Consortium are international experts carrying out research at the leading edge of demography. Some are based in universities, others in research centres. Under the aegis of the School the members of the Consortium provide doctoral-level instruction and research supervision to students. By this means students are able to move between institutions associated with the School, and to come from outside, in order to receive the very best training available. Founded in 2000, the School receives core support from the Max Planck Society and the Max Planck Institute for Demographic Research (MPIDR). It does not charge fees, and makes available a number of partial and full scholarships to enable students to attend courses. The largest number of courses is offered at the MPIDR in Rostock, others are given by Consortium members at various locations around Europe.

LIfestyle PROjections (LIPRO) multistate projection model
Changes in household structure may have profound consequences for a wide range of areas in demography and social policy. Household projection models developed in demography over the past few decades are primarily of the headship rate type, in which the dynamic processes of household formation and dissolution which underlie changes in household structure, essentially are treated as a black box. Back in 1988, NIDI started a pioneering study in order to develop a dynamic household projection model which explicitly focusses on the flows underlying household changes. The model, called LIPRO ('LIfestyle PROjections'), is based on the methodology of multistate demography, but includes several extensions to solve the particular problems of household modelling.
Human Mortality Database (HMD)
The Human Mortality Database (HMD) was created to provide detailed mortality and population data to researchers, students, journalists, policy analysts, and others interested in the history of human longevity.
