STAR: Space‑Time Causality Reading Group
Welcome to the STAR Group, a reading group dedicated to exploring causal inference in spatio-temporal systems, including methodological, theoretical, and applied perspectives. We meet every second Wednesday at 15:00 CET online (via Microsoft Teams).

🙌 How to Participate
We welcome anyone interested in causal methods and spatio-temporal modeling to join the STAR Group!
Session Format
Each session features a short (~20–30 min) presentation followed by an open discussion.
We ask that participants read or skim the paper in advance so we can focus on meaningful questions and ideas.
Joining the Group
To join, just email us at email us with your name, affiliation, and a few words about your interest.
We look forward to welcoming new faces ; we do ask for regular participation and active engagement.
