2025 Penn Causal Inference Summer Institute

2025 Penn Causal Inference Summer Institute

This 4-day workshop (May 27-30, 2025) covers foundational concepts, theory, and methods for causal inference from observational data and imperfect randomized experiments. Attend in person at the University of Pennsylvania or online, with full or single-day options, and gain skills to critically engage with modern causal inference methods.

Spring 2025 Seminars

All seminars are held in a hybrid format on Thursdays. To join the mailing list for seminar updates and to receive the Zoom link, please reach out to Catherine Vallejo.
