Background to UK-CIM 

This is the fourth meeting of a UK-wide collaborative effort across the
methodology research community in the health, economic and social
sciences. It aims to provide a forum for people interested in causal
inference to meet informally, for early career researchers to highlight
their work, and to offer opportunities for networking to foster future
research opportunities and collaborations. 

If you have any questions about the UK-CIM initiative and future
meetings, please contact one of the steering group or Richard Emsley at:
