Dear colleagues,

the Working Group on Structural Equation Modeling is an informal group of researchers interested in SEM. It was founded at ZUMA in Mannheim in 1986 and has met yearly since 2007 to discuss recent advancements in the field.

The next meeting will be taking place at the University of Technology Chemnitz on 20-21 March 2025. Yves Rosseel will be giving a pre-conference workshop on the Structural After Measurements Approach to SEM on 19 March 2025. The preliminary conference programme can be found at: https://www.tu-chemnitz.de/hsw/soziologie/Professuren/Empirische_Sozialforsc hung/SEM/meetings.php.
