About
Marc Luy is Head of the research group “Health and Longevity” at the Vienna Institute of Demography of the Austrian Academy of Sciences and Director of the German-Austrian “Cloister Study”. Previously, he was Junior Professor for Demography and its Applications at the University of Rostock. Before becoming junior professor, he was Doctoral Student and Research Scientist at the University of Rostock, the Max Planck Institute for Demographic Research in Rostock and the Federal Institute for Population Research in Wiesbaden, Germany.
