The first annual Census Research User Conference will be held at Birkbeck College, London, on 27 September from 9.30 – 5.30.

 

This one-day event will be an opportunity for data producers and research users of the census to gather and discuss data developments, research undertaken and work in progress. Presenters include the UK census offices and academic researchers.

 

Places are free but limited so booking is required. Tea and coffee will be provided in the morning and afternoon breaks, however we regret that we are unable to provide lunch.
