The sixth French Stata Conference, in collaboration with Aix-Marseille Université School of Economics, takes place on 29–30 April 2026. The conference language will be English because of the international nature and the participation of non-French guest speakers.
The conference aims to welcome high-quality research in applied econometrics from all fields using Stata to perform analyses. It will not be focused on the presentation of community-contributed commands but will offer the opportunity to present applied works developed in Stata.
