Wittgenstein Centre contributes a workshop to Regional Academy on the United Nations (RAUN)
19 MAY 2017
In May 2017, the Wittgenstein Centre contributed a workshop on “Women and Forced Migration: From displacement to integration” to the first session of the Regional Academy on the United Nations (RAUN) at Comenius University in Bratislava. The Regional Academy is an international multi-disciplinary program which trains young scholars in issues related to the United Nations and international cooperation. Since 2015, it has been co-organized by WIC staff member Roman Hoffmann, who currently coordinates the activities of the Academy in Austria. The WIC workshop session was given by Judith Kohlenberger from the research group “Demography of Austria”, who presented results from the “Displaced Persons in Austria Survey (DiPAS)” and discussed integration policy recommendations with the participants, including PhD students Marina Andrijevic and Anna Dimitrova from the Centre.
The Wittgenstein Centre aspires to be a world leader in the advancement of demographic methods and their application to the analysis of human capital and population dynamics. In assessing the effects of these forces on long-term human well-being, we combine scientific excellence in a multidisciplinary context with relevance to a global audience. It is a collaboration among the Austrian Academy of Sciences (ÖAW), the International Institute for Applied Systems Analysis (IIASA) and the University of Vienna.
