We are pleased to announce the 5th International Conference on “Current Issues on Coincidence Analysis,” scheduled to take place on June 12-13, 2026, at UC Berkeley, School of Social Welfare. This conference serves as a premier platform for the exchange of ideas and collaboration between Coincidence Analysis (CNA) methodologists and applied researchers.

Conference Scope: The conference will feature discussions on the latest methodological developments in CNA, addressing open questions and challenges in the field. Moreover, researchers will have the opportunity to showcase exemplary applications of CNA from any discipline, as well as theoretical or conceptual developments.

Highlights:

• Invited talks by leading CNA experts
• Contributed paper presentations
• Networking opportunities

We now invite the submission of extended abstracts for contributed papers. Submissions may cover three main areas: Applied (utilizing CNA to analyze empirical data), methodological (further developing the CNA method and its technical aspects), or theoretical (advancing the theory of causation underpinning CNA). We request extended abstracts of up to 1000 words that clearly outline the research question, methodology, key findings, and contribution to the field. All submissions will undergo a peer-review process. To submit an abstract, fill out this form. The submission deadline is March 13, 2026. Notification of acceptance will occur by March 28, 2026.
