On-Site
Workshops
Workshop taking place from Sept. 25-27 in Bad Kreuznach (close to Frankfurt, Germany). We will bring together researchers from economics, epidemiology, medicine, and the social sciences. The workshop is organized within a 3rd party funded collaboration project between the Economics Department of the University of Mainz and the Potsdam Institute for Climate Impact Research / Charité – University Medical Center Berlin. The focus is on quantitative research aimed at establishing causal relations.
The workshop includes oral & poster research presentations, a keynote by Maya Rossin-Slater (Stanford), as well as interactive components aimed at fostering interdisciplinary collaboration, exploration of synergistic research methods, and discussions on the current state of the field. Abstracts can be submitted till April 30.
Establishing causal evidence for relationships between early-life exposures and later-life health and human capital outcomes is an important tool for understanding long-term trajectories from the earliest life stages, offering new opportunities for developing health and economic interventions.
By bringing together experts from economics, epidemiology, medicine, the social sciences and other disciplines, this workshop seeks to underscore the value of integrating disciplinary methodologies in investigating causal effects in early-life research. We aim to facilitate interdisciplinary collaboration, exploration of synergistic research methods, and discussions on the current state of the field.
The on-site workshop will contain interactive components, as well as talks, a poster session, and a keynote lecture (see preliminary program). The keynote will be held by Maya Rossin-Slater, health economist and Associate Professor of Health Policy at Stanford University School of Medicine.
Abstracts: We invite contributions of quantitative work from researchers at all career stages from any of the above-mentioned disciplines.
Submission deadline: April 30, 2024. Notifications of acceptance will be sent out by May 15, 2024.
Costs: Participation is free of charge and includes a social event, as well as meals.
