Next 13–16 July 2026: SERENA research presented at the IPDLN Conference 2026

The SERENA project will be presented at the 2026 International Population Data Linkage Network (IPDLN) Conference, held from 13 to 16 July 2026 at Erasmus University Rotterdam, in the Netherlands.

IPDLN Introduction

The IPDLN conference brings together researchers, practitioners, and students from around the world working on population data linkage. The event focuses on empirical research using administrative and population datasets, methodological innovations in data linkage, and the ethical and legal implications of using large-scale administrative data. It provides a unique opportunity for international collaboration and knowledge exchange in the field of population data science.

SERENA involvement

During the conference, a few members of the SERENA consortium will present research exploring how children who experience maltreatment interact with public services.

The SERENA project will be presented during the Population Data Research panel, Session 505: Youth Vulnerabilities, taking place in Room 5 from 13:00 to 14:30.

Two presentations from the SERENA team will be featured at the conference:
