Depuis 2022, le Centre LIVES organise une conférence internationale à l'Université de Lausanne ou à l'Université de Genève (en alternance). Ce rendez-vous est l'occasion de stimuler la discussion et la recherche interdisciplinaire sur le parcours de vie en bénéficiant de la richesse du réseau de chercheur·es juniors et seniors du Centre LIVES.
Le programme comprend des conférences plénières, des sessions thématiques ainsi que la présentation de posters. Plus d'informations sont disponibles ci-dessous sur les diverses éditions de la conférence, en anglais.
Mobility in the life course - 5-6 November 2024 - University of Geneva
The early 21st century is marked by novel forms of mobility encompassing migration, family, career and social mobility. Yet, individual mobility encounters considerable resistance: international migrations face regulations that control movement across national borders; new forms of family mobility clash with traditional norms; novel career paths conflict with costly migration or family changes; while social mobility, especially intergenerational mobility, remains often trapped by institutions such as educational systems. To shed light on evolving forms of mobility, this conference brings together two perspectives developed within the National Centers of Competence in Research (NCCR): the life course perspective (Centre LIVES, Lausanne and Geneva) and the Migration-Mobility Nexus (nccr – on the move, Neuchâtel).
The life course in turbulent times - 9-10 November 2023 - University of Lausanne
A shared vision of research on vulnerability in a life course perspective - 17-18 November 2022 - Campus Biotech, Geneva
The Conference focused on our twelve years of joint research conducted at NCCR LIVES and our shared vision of research on vulnerability in a life course perspective for the next ten years. We welcome presentations on all relevant areas of life course research, such as family, health, employment, education, old age, family, gender relations or innovative longitudinal methods. We are particularly interested in interdisciplinary research and research showing mechanisms of and policy responses to vulnerability in the life course.
