From November 5 to 7, 2025 we will hold a gathering, broadening the themes, interdisciplinary approaches and geographical and university backgrounds. We also intend to advance in the evaluation of strategies and policies on depopulation. We believe that knowledge of a more academic nature should incorporate the knowledge provided by public management and the daily life of their communities. And that all these reflections are useful to improve policies, very abundant in recent years, but with little attention to the evidence provided by the academic/scientific community.
