Event: Union World Conference on Lung Health

Date: 18-21 November 2025

Location: Bella Center in Copenhagen, Denmark

Organiser: International Union Against Tuberculosis and Lung Disease (The Union)

Description: Lung health progress has been devastated by funding cuts and the most vulnerable people in our communities are suffering. Now, more than ever, it is crucial that world-leading tuberculosis (TB) and lung disease experts come together to present the latest scientific breakthroughs, debate urgent public health challenges and share community-driven solutions.

In the face of shrinking funds and shifting health policy priorities, the largest international lung health gathering offers a vital platform to spotlight new study results, innovative tools and compelling survivor stories. Hosted by The Union, the event will convene thousands of researchers, policymakers, advocates and community leaders working to tackle the most pressing issues in tuberculosis, respiratory diseases and lung health.

🧠 BEMC Talk | Aaron Sarvet (University of Massachusetts Amherst) | November 19, 2025

Join the next BEMC Talk on Wednesday, November 19, 2025, at 4:00 PM (CET) — a hybrid event featuring Aaron Sarvet from the University of Massachusetts Amherst (USA). He will speak on
🎓 “Interpretational errors in causal inference and how to avoid them.”

In his talk, Sarvet explores how subtle misinterpretations — termed “identity slippage” — can distort causal inference and affect public health and clinical decision-making. He will present case studies from causal mediation and instrumental variable analysis, illustrating how recognizing such errors improves the translation of data into public good.

📢 BEMC Talk: “Interpretational errors in causal inference and how to avoid them”

The BEMC series invites the community to a hybrid lecture on Wednesday, November 19, 2025, at 4:00 p.m. featuring Aaron Sarvet (University of Massachusetts Amherst, USA). 🌎📊

In his talk, Sarvet will explore how causal inference—originally rooted in practical, discipline-based questions—has evolved into a framework that now shapes which questions are asked and how evidence is interpreted. He will introduce the concept of “identity slippage,” an interpretational error increasingly observed in causal research, and demonstrate how recognizing this error is essential for sound public health and clinical decision-making. Case studies from mediation analysis and instrumental variable analysis will illustrate these challenges and their solutions. 🔍📈
