International

The Generations and Gender Programme (GGP) was initiated by the United Nations Economic Commission for Europe (UNECE). Numerous European universities and research institutions in the areas of demography, sociology and economics are represented within the international GGP consortium board. The Vienna Institute of Demography (VID)  participates within this Consortium Board. The following members are represented:

• Bocconi University, Dondena Centre for Social Dynamics and Public Policy (Italy),
• Federal Institute for Population Research, BiB (Germany),
• Hungarian Demographic Research Institute (Hungary),
• Institut National d’Études Démographiques (France),
• Netherlands Interdisciplinary Demographic Institute (The Netherlands),
• Population Unit, United Nations Economic Commission for Europe,
• Statistics Norway (Norway),
• Stockholm University Demography Unit (Sweden),
• Tallinn University (Estonia),
• University of Southampton (Great Britain),
• University of Zagreb, Faculty of Economics & Business (Croatia),
• Vytautas Magnus University, Centre for Demographic Research (Lithuania),
• Warsaw School of Economics (Poland) and
• Wittgenstein Centre for Demography and Global Human Capital (Austria).

The international coordination and central organisation are carried out by the Netherlands Interdisciplinary Demographic Institute (NIDI). The internationally harmonised database (CDB – Contextual Database) is hosted by the French National Institute for Demographic Studies (INED). The research data are integrated into the CESSDA-network and part of the European Open Science Data Cloud (EOSC).

Since 2021, the GGP has the status of an ESFRI research infrastructure. The ESFRI roadmap (European Strategy Forum on Research Infrastructures) is a strategic document that identifies important research infrastructures in Europe. ESFRI infrastructures are key elements of sustainable research and research infrastructure development in Austria and in Europe. They have modern organisational structures and special research services which, in addition to the return flow of knowledge and know-how to Austria, also achieve enormous economic, social and societal impacts. Therefore, the GGP is also part of the Austrian "Forschungsinfrastruktur-Aktionsplan 2030 (PDF, 642 KB)“.
