Childhood and Beyond: tracing cohorts across the lifecourse
PARIS, France
29-31 October 2012
The third conference of the Society for Longitudinal and Life Course Studies (SLLS) was combined with the final conference of the ESF-funded European Child Cohort Network (EUCCONET). It comprised keynote lectures and parallel group and poster sessions.
It featured research on the whole lifecourse and longitudinal methodology as well as reports and research from the teams following the multi-purpose child cohort studies in EUCCONET, on which the conference had a special but not exclusive focus.
Keynote addresses by:
Marie-Aline Charles, INSERM, Director of the French child cohort ELFE
Early origins of obesity.
Professor Jane Waldfogel, Columbia University
Socio-economic inequality in childhood and beyond: international evidence from cohort studies.
Professor Ian Deary, Centre for Cognitive Ageing and Cognitive Epidemiology University of Edinburgh.
From 11 to 90: following up the Scottish Mental Surveys of 1932 and 1947.
The conference took place in Paris, France, the 'most beautiful city in the world' and home of the organization of the 2011-launched Growing Up in France Study ELFE. The conference venue was the FIAP Jean Monnet, an international accommodation and conference center located in a quiet area on the rive gauche.

26th- 28th September 2011
Nearly two hundred people assembled at Bielefeld, Germany for the Society's second annual conference, taking place from 26-28th September 2011.
