IGF::OT::IGF:FALL AND SPRING MEETINGS OF THE COMMITTEE ON POPULATION (CPOP)

“人口委员会(CPOP)通过对与人口有关的重大问题进行科学评估，帮助整合统计和社会科学，并为讨论和分析与人口有关的重要问题提供了一个论坛。它处理有关人口数量和分布变化的决定因素和后果的问题，这些问题对发达国家和发展中国家的研究人员都很重要。它不仅通过单独资助的研究和研讨会执行这项任务，而且通过由一个机构联盟资助的持续核心业务来执行这项任务。 作为核心活动，CPOP选择研究领域，发展委员会或研讨会，挑选参与者，审查研究活动和报告，并广泛传播研究结果。在完成这些任务时，CPOP执行各种功能。它通过选择小组和研讨会指导委员会的参与者、监测研究活动和审查研究报告来监督所有研究。它还广泛传播研究结果，组织公开研讨会，并就特定赞助商感兴趣的主题召开小型规划会议。CPOP委员会成员每年召开两次会议。在会议间隙，它通过电子邮件和电话会议通过小组委员会的行动来开展工作。

"The Committee on Population (CPOP) serves to help integrate the statistical and social sciences by scientific assessments of major population-related issues and provides a forum for the discussion and analysis of important issues related to population. It deals with questions about the determinants and consequences of changes in population size and distribution that are important to researchers in both developed and developing nations. It carries out this mission not only through separately funded studies and workshops, but also through its continuing core operations, which are funded by a consortium of agencies. As core activities, the CPOP selects areas for study, develops committees or workshops, selects participants, reviews study activities and reports, and widely disseminates study results. In accomplishing these tasks, CPOP conducts a variety of functions. It provides oversight of all studies by selecting panel and workshop steering committee participants, monitoring study activities, and reviewing study reports. It also widely disseminates study results, organizes public seminars, and convenes small planning meetings on topics of interest to particular sponsors. CPOP committee members meet twice a year. In between meetings, it conducts its work through subcommittee actions via e-mail and conference calls."
