The MultiCause network is an international research network dedicated to the analysis of all causes reported on death certificates. In addition to the reassessment of mortality levels, research is conducted on how causes are combined with one another, as well as on multimorbidity at death. Established in 2012, the network regroups more than 100 researchers from about 20 countries. If you are interested in our activities, please send an email to: multicauseworkshop@listes.ined.fr.


Meetings

The next meeting of the MultiCause network will be held in Barcelona on October 16&17, 2025. Submissions of presentation proposals (title and short abstract of no more than 300 words) should be sent by March 31, 2025 to the email address of the workshop: multicauseworkshop@listes.ined.fr. Authors will be notified of acceptance by the end of April. All topics related to multiple causes of death (data collection and data quality, methods, analysis of specific causes of death, cross-country comparisons, etc.) are welcome. We also welcome submissions dealing with the analysis of multi-morbidity.
Tim Adair and Aline Désesquelles organize a session (session topic #33) on Multi-morbidity at death at the next International Population Conference in Brisbane in 2025.The call for submissions is now close.
