- 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 sixth meeting of the MultiCause network was held in Barcelona on October 16&17, 2025. It was organized in collaboration with the Center for Demogràfic Studies (Barcelona), the Pompeu Fabra University (Barcelona), and the French Institute for demographic Studies (INED, Paris). The final programme is available.
