Concept
We invite you to the 2026 Applied Causal Graphs Workshop at University of Potsdam, bringing together scientists from a wide range of applied fields who share an interest in causal graphs and causal mechanisms.
Particularly, we aim to connect applied researchers with method developers to foster dialogue and collaboration. Moreover, we want to broaden perspectives, e.g. by exploring how interventions are modeled in complex systems and in causal inference. Insights from our keynote speakers will guide these conversations.
Last but not least, we invite speakers to bring limitations and criticism of the causal graphical framework to light in a constructive way, discussing causes of problems or ideas for remedying them in concrete applications.
We look forward to welcoming an interdisciplinary community.
Schedule
