Description:	In 2009, a committee of the International Union for the Scientific Study of Popula- tions was created with the task of studying the ‘Impacts of Population Ageing’ (http://www.iussp.org/Activities/ipa-index.php). Its members (Gustavo De Santis, Jorge Bravo, Jocelyn Finlay, Alexia Fu¨rnkranz-Prskawetz, Kohei Wada) engaged in various activities, one of which was the organisation of an International Seminar, ‘The family, the market or the state? Intergenerational economic support in an ageing society’ (Geneva, Switzerland, 23–24 June 2010), jointly with AIDELF, the International Association of French-Speaking Demographers. More precisely, AIDELF convened its 16th international conference (Relations interge´ne´ration- nelles: enjeux de´mographiques, Universite´ de Gene`ve, 21–24 juin 2010; see http://www.aidelf.org/), a few sessions of which were conceived in such a way that they could be considered both as a part of the AIDELF conference and also as an autonomous IUSSP seminar. This very innovative solution required a few technical and linguistic adjustments (for instance, with slides prepared in French but presented in English, or vice versa), but it worked out extremely well and will hopefully pave the way for a new format in the future joint organisation of conferences and seminars of two or more entities. I would therefore like to take this opportunity to thank all the parties involved for their very constructive help: AIDELF, IUSSP, and, especially, the scientific and local organising committee of the conference. Special praise should also go to the presenters: not only did they fully cooperate in this rather unconventional situation, but they also constructively commented and criticised all the papers of the seminar, thus contributing to enhancing their quality. And, finally, a sincere thank you to the two anonymous referees for their invaluable contribution to all the chapters of this book
