[spsp-members] Deadline Extension - December 11, 2023 - EPICAUSE 2024

[Aline Potiron]

 Dear community,

We have decided to extend the deadline for submitting an abstract at the
conference on Causality in Epidemiology we are organising in Linz (sorry
for cross-posting):

*Deadline Extension - December 11, 2023 - EPICAUSE 2024*

The Causality in the Sciences
<http://blogs.kent.ac.uk/jonw/conferences/cits/> conference series is back!
We bring together philosophers and scientists to explore various aspects of
causality. This 15th conference in the series will focus on the
relationship between epidemiology and causality.

The Conference will be held at the *Johannes Kepler University (JKU) in
Linz, Austria, May 2-4, 2024*. More information on our website
<https://www.jku.at/en/institute-of-philosophy-and-scientific-method/epicause-2024/>
.

*Confirmed keynote speakers:*
Miguel Hernan <http://www.hsph.harvard.edu/miguel-hernan/> (School of
Public Health in Harvard)
Stefano Canali <https://www.stefanocanali.net/> (Social Sciences and

*Call for abstract
<https://www.jku.at/en/institute-of-philosophy-and-scientific-method/epicause-2024/call-for-abstracts>:*
The conference focuses on causality in the science of epidemiology and the
methods needed to assess public health claims. The conference aims to bring
together scholars from multiple disciplines, including (but not limited to)
epidemiology, public health, statistics, and philosophy. Papers addressing
issues concerning the epistemology, semantics and metaphysics of causality
in epidemiology are welcomed. We offer some suggested topics of interest
but encourage submission of abstracts on all related topics:

   - What counts as evidence for causal claims in epidemiology?
   - What is the role of experiments and simulations in causal inferences
   in epidemiology?
   - How do or should new developments in methods of causal inference play
   a role in epidemiology?
   - Is there a hierarchy of evidence in epidemiology? Is it defensible?
   - What is the role of evidence-based medicine in causal inferences in
   epidemiology?
   - What characterises the notion of causation in epidemiology?
   - Are different notions required for different methods?
   - Are there differences in the notions that are explicitly and
   implicitly assumed in the methods employed?
   - What role is played by information of interventions and physical
   mechanisms in identifying causal claims in epidemiology?

Abstracts should be no more than 400 words (including bibliographic
references, if needed) and should be submitted via Microsoft CMT:
https://cmt3.research.microsoft.com/EpiCause2024
Abstracts having more than one author must have at least one of the authors
registered for presentation.
If an author’s abstract is accepted, the author should send a biographical
note (of max. 150 words) to epicause at jku.at.
