As a special topic of interest, we welcome submissions in the area of model/variable selection/high dimensional covariates in causal inference. **Registration** Online registration and payment is available on the University of Cambridge online store through the UK-CIM website. Registration fees for the 2014 meeting are £80.00 for delegates, and £50.00 for registered students. The fee includes lunch on both days of the meeting and an evening meal on the Monday evening.

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.
