Call for presentations

The 5th Swiss Stata Conference takes place 21 November 2025 at the University of Bern.

Have you developed skills with Stata, or would you would like to share your results and findings with the community of users? Or do you simply want to meet fellow researchers and StataCorp developers? This conference provides Stata users from across Switzerland and the world the opportunity to share experiences with the software, to present their applied research, and to share information on new commands. Anyone interested in Stata is welcome. The conference language will be English.

Presentation guidelines

The conference welcomes a variety of presentations:

  • Research relying on applied statistics or econometrics from all fields using Stata to perform the analysis. The aim of these presentations is not to present community-contributed commands but to offer the opportunity to present applied work relying on Stata. We welcome submissions in all fields, including economics, business, management, and health sciences.
  • Approaches to using Python within Stata.
  • Experiences with teaching statistics using Stata.
  • Presentations of new community-contributed commands.

For examples of past presentations, view the proceedings page.
