Tuberculosis in the spotlight

An international conference organised by the Public Health Agency (PHA) will mark this year’s World TB Day on 24 March.

Life after the census

Life after the Census: Using Administrative Data to Analyse Society

The 2011 Census is likely to the last in the present format. Whatever system is chosen to replace the census will have a major impact on social science research. Given this, the NILS Research Forum is organising a conference on 9 May, 2012, entitled: Life after the Census: Using Administrative Data to Analyse Society. Its purpose is to inform the debate over the replacement of the census from the perspective of social science.
