Center for Causal Inference (CCI)
Advancing causal inference methods, fostering collaborative research, and providing essential training to drive innovation across diverse fields.
2025 Penn Causal Inference Winter Institute
**This conference has been postponed to a later date. Additional information to follow.**
This 5-day workshop (January 13–17, 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
