Description of the centre

The research centre is of an inter-university nature (collaboration with the University of Economics). Faculty members of the team are involved in the SYRI research project and, among other things, are involved in the building of the Map Portal UNCE. Intensive collaboration is taking place especially with the GeoQol Centre (Centre for health inequalities research).

In the period 2020–2021, team members have been involved in research on the COVID-19 disease pandemic. Three fellowships have been carried out in the framework of the project "COVID-19: Demographic applications in SAS", and selected data and statistics were used by the media and professional communities concerned with pandemic issues.

In addition to pandemic research, the work focuses on the analysis of mortality factors, especially at the level of chronic and degenerative causes of death. Socio-economic factors or the possible impact of screening programmes are examined. One of the research questions is devoted to the analysis of convergence trends in reproductive behaviour with a focus on mortality in the post-socialist space. A PhD thesis on this topic is currently being conducted within the research centre.

One of the important outputs of the members of the Centre was the reconstruction of generational and transversal mortality data and mortality tables back to 1870, following the inter-university project of the Czech Academy of Sciences "Generational mortality tables of the Czech Republic: data, biometric functions and trends" (investigator prof. Rychtaříková). Research in this area continues, both by reconstructing detailed mortality data and by generational mortality analysis.

Members of the team are involved in clinical epidemiological research at the Motol Hospital in Prague and St. Anne's Hospital in Brno. The use of demographic and statistical approaches in the analysis of medical data opens up potential opportunities for improving the quality of care provided, but also for enriching demographic research itself, especially in the methodological area.

The Centre incorporates the organisational base of the Health, Morbidity, and Mortality Working Group of the European Association of Population Studies, which holds regular meetings across Europe (https://hmmwg.vse.cz/). 

Members of the Centre also participate in events and seminars for the public or schools (e.g. Junior Charles University, regular meetings with geography teachers, Science festivals etc.). A separate component of the Centre's activities is the preparation of materials for the public and for teaching in primary and secondary schools. A website for schools and the public is available for this purpose (in Czech only).
