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)
- Ruth Keogh (London School of Hygiene and Tropical Medicine)

### Submission Requirements
- Abstract length: ~½ page, PDF format
- Language: English
- Anonymized (no author names or identifying information)

Submissions through OpenReview. The workshop is **non-archival**.
All accepted abstracts will be presented as posters, with selected
spotlight talks (2--3 mins).

### Organizers
- Christine Bang (University of Copenhagen)
- Alex Markham (University of Copenhagen)
- Søren Wengel Mogensen (Copenhagen Business School)
- Anne Helby Petersen (University of Copenhagen)
- Sebastian Weichwald (University of Copenhagen)
