Upcoming Events

IPUMS will be exhibiting at the 2025 AAG Annual Meeting. Visit us in booth 301 in the exhibit hall.

The 2025 UMD Time Use Conference will give members of the growing interdisciplinary time use research community the opportunity to interact and share ideas.

11:00am CT
Register for R Spatial Notebooks webinar
The National Science Foundation Institute for Geospatial Understanding through an Integrative Discovery Environment (I-GUIDE) brings together data and domain expertise to build infrastructure as well as facilitate research and education, including a series of R notebooks (the R Spatial Notebook Series). This webinar, hosted by I-GUIDE, will cover accessing and managing data from IPUMS USA with R and is designed to provide insights for R users of all skill levels.

IPUMS will be exhibiting at the PAA 2025 Annual Meeting; stop by our booth (307 & 309) to talk data to us. Are you on the PAA program with research that uses IPUMS data? Tell us about it and we will highlight your work and bring some specialty IPUMS swag for you. 

We have two workshops that we would like to highlight and encourage IPUMS users to register for:

• Studying Mortality using Harmonized National Health Interview Survey Linked Mortality File Data (NHIS-LMF) from IPUMS
  Thursday, April 10 1:00-5:00pm
  • This workshop will highlight a freely-available and high-quality data source for studying population-level trends and consequences in mortality and exploring health inequities by socio-demographic characteristics. Attendees will also learn how to analyze the NHIS-LMF data to generate mortality estimates. NDIRA and IPUMS are sponsoring the workshop for reduced registration fees.
• Leveraging Comprehensive Population Microdata from Multiple Repositories: The Case of the CORESIDENCE Project
  Thursday, April 10 8:00am-12:00pm
  • This workshop will introduce methods for compiling and processing large datasets for demographic research. It will present the CORESIDENCE Project as a case study, which has compiled over 785 million individual records from 196 countries using population data repositories such as IPUMS International, DHS, EU-LFS, MICS, SILC, and various country-specific surveys.

10:00am-11:30am CT
Join us for virtual office hours on Wednesday, April 16 to chat with IPUMS data experts about your questions. This month we also have special data guests EdSHARe and NCHAT. Registration is required to attend virtual office hours, but you can drop in anytime between 10:00am and 11:30am CT with your questions for the researchers that make IPUMS, EdSHARe, and NCHAT possible.

About IPUMS Virtual Office Hours: Virtual Office Hours are held quarterly and are a chance to connect data experts with data users to get their questions answered in a setting similar to a conference exhibit hall, but in an online format. The goal is to provide regular opportunities for face-to-face, personalized support from data experts in a casual atmosphere.

IPUMS will be exhibiting at the SRCD 2025 Biennial Meeting. Visit us in booth 105 in the exhibit hall.

IPUMS is also presenting a professional development session during the conference:

• Free Harmonized Data for Measuring International Child Development with IPUMS Global Health and Census Datasets
  Saturday, May 3 8:30-10:00am

This year’s two-day data training workshop will familiarize participants with full count census data from IPUMS, including linked census data from the IPUMS Multigenerational Longitudinal Panel (MLP), in addition to covering using full count census data with other data sources, geographic variables, as well as restricted versions of the data and restricted linkages to other data sources. The workshop is free, but space is limited. Applications are due April 15. 

The IPUMS Big Microdata Network and the Network for Data-Intensive Research on Aging (NDIRA), a collaboration between IPUMS and the University of Minnesota Life Course Center, are proud to sponsor the 2025 Data-Intensive Research Conference. The conference theme is Understanding Health and Population Dynamics through Big Microdata. We look forward to a conference that features multi- and interdisciplinary research and demonstrates the flexibility and power of big microdata for understanding the demographic and health landscape. 

We will be exhibiting at the GSA 2025 Annual Scientific Meeting. Stop by our exhibit booth (405) to talk data to us.
