# ZIB Academy 2018 - Causal inference with non-experimental data

30.07.2018    Reading time:

  ZIB Academy 2018
------------------

 ###  Causal Inference with Non-Experimental Data (30/07/2018-02/08/2018)

 The fourth ZIB Academy was dedicated to the topic *“***Causal Inference with Non-Experimental Data***”* and was hosted by IPN in Kiel.

Around 25 early-career researchers from five different countries engaged intensively with **causal effects** in two two-day workshops:

- Identification and estimation of causal effects (Professor Felix Thoemmes, Cornell University)
- Causal mediation analysis (Professor Stijn Vansteelandt, Ghent University).

A poster session provided an opportunity for participants to present their work and discuss it with experts.
