We invite abstract submissions for the workshop Causality for Impact at EurIPS 2025 in Copenhagen.
This workshop examines obstacles to increasing the real-world impact of causal data science—including causal machine learning, causal representation learning, causal discovery, and causal inference. Although these fields have produced many novel methods, their adoption in empirical sciences remains limited, constraining their societal impact.
Using examples from health, social, and earth sciences, we will highlight barriers to applying causal methods in practice. Our goal is to foster dialogue between causal methods developers and practitioners across domains. To maximize cross-pollination, we encourage abstract submissions and active participation in poster and breakout discussion sessions.
Topics include:
- Case studies from health, social, or earth sciences (successes and failures) applying causal methods
- Applications that present challenges or define future directions for causal methods development
- Scalability, reproducibility, and practical workflows/software for causal analyses
- Negative results, implementation challenges, and lessons learned from applications of causal methods
- Causal methods (discovery, inference, representation learning, etc.) with direct practitioner relevance
Keynote Speakers
- Gustau Camps-Valls (Universitat de València)
- Paul Hünermund (Copenhagen Business School)
