We want to bring together the broader community of researchers in the Berlin area who work with causal graphs. The focus of the workshop will be on how graphs can help us in applied research in the social sciences, climate science, and beyond. The big question is: How can we transfer methods and solutions for specific problems from one discipline to another? Participants are invited to give a short presentation of their work (about 10 minutes), followed by 10 minutes of discussion. We encourage everyone to present work in progress, new software or implementations, and really anything that makes it easier for applied scientists to harness the power of causal graphs in their research. We also invite each participant to send a picture of the graph that best summarizes their current work, which will be displayed in the conference room to facilitate discussion.
