Causality to Get Population Health Science Right<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
<\/div>\n\n\n\n

We were delighted to host the Causality to Get Population Health Science Right<\/em> symposium held for the first time on 29 March 2023<\/strong> in Lausanne. We thank all the participants for attending the inaugural Causality<\/em> symposium. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

This symposium aims to create a space for early-stage researchers to network and learn from the leading experts in causal inference in Switzerland. In 2023, the keynote speaker was Prof. Jay Kaufman<\/a><\/strong>, PhD, from the Department of Epidemiology, School of Population and Global Health, McGill University, Montreal, Canada. Check back to see our list of speakers for future symposiums.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
