Causal Science Conference 2022

Main content start

On November 14th, the Stanford Causal Science Center (SC²) held a one-day conference at the Koret-Taube Conference Center at the SIPER Building.

The program consisted of a day of presentations and posters by Stanford graduate students and postdoctoral scholars working on a breadth of causal science topics, from methodology to applications.  This event served as an opportunity for the community to learn more about the breadth of work happening at Stanford, to forge new connections, and ultimately to help shape a shared path for the future success of SC².
