Join us for a one-day conference hosted by the Stanford Causal Science Center (SC²), bringing together our community to explore the breadth of work in causal inference, spark new connections, and help chart the path forward.
The program will feature graduate students and postdocs presenting both cutting-edge methods and real-world applications through a dynamic mix of 15-minute talks and a poster session.
