SHiP Workshop

On 10 January the Quetelet Center organised the fourth workshop of the SHiP network (Studying the history of Health in Port cities). At the renovated Monasterium Poortackere in Ghent, participants from 12 different countries discussed the construction of an international codification and classification of individual cause-of-death data. The coding system will facilitate comparisons of mortality datasets such as the Belgian HISSTER across time and place.
