Introduction to Bayesian Structural Equation Modeling in R workshop

Join our workshop on Introduction to Bayesian Structural Equation Modeling in R, which is a part of our workshops for Ukraine series! 

Here’s some more info: 

Title: Introduction to Bayesian Structural Equation Modeling in R

Date:  Thursday, August 29th, 18:00 – 20:00 CEST (Rome, Berlin, Paris timezone)

Speaker: Esteban Montenegro-Montenegro serves as a professor and researcher at California State University, Stanislaus. He holds a doctoral degree in Educational Psychology with a concentration in Research, Methods, Statistics, and Evaluation from Texas Tech University. Currently, Dr. Montenegro devotes his time to teaching foundational topics in statistics using R. Moreover, he is actively engaged in learning and instructing advanced concepts in Bayesian inference and latent variable models.

Description: The workshop is designed to offer an introductory overview of Structural Equation Modeling (SEM) in R, followed by a simplified explanation of Bayesian inference through various examples. In the latter part of the workshop, participants will learn to estimate a Bayesian SEM model using the blavaan package in R. This workshop is ideal for those seeking a user-friendly introduction to SEM and Bayesian inference in R. Basic skills in R, such as opening datasets, understanding objects, functions, and loops, are assumed due to time constraints. Comprehensive materials and additional examples will be provided for further practice at home.

Minimal registration fee: 20 euro (or 20 USD or 800 UAH)



How can I register?



  • Save your donation receipt (after the donation is processed, there is an option to enter your email address on the website to which the donation receipt is sent)

  • Fill in the registration form, attaching a screenshot of a donation receipt (please attach the screenshot of the donation receipt that was emailed to you rather than the page you see after donation).

If you are not personally interested in attending, you can also contribute by sponsoring a participation of a student, who will then be able to participate for free. If you choose to sponsor a student, all proceeds will also go directly to organisations working in Ukraine. You can either sponsor a particular student or you can leave it up to us so that we can allocate the sponsored place to students who have signed up for the waiting list.

  • Fill in the sponsorship form, attaching the screenshot of the donation receipt (please attach the screenshot of the donation receipt that was emailed to you rather than the page you see after the donation). You can indicate whether you want to sponsor a particular student or we can allocate this spot ourselves to the students from the waiting list. You can also indicate whether you prefer us to prioritize students from developing countries when assigning place(s) that you sponsored.


If you are a university student and cannot afford the registration fee, you can also sign up for the waiting list here. (Note that you are not guaranteed to participate by signing up for the waiting list).

Looking forward to seeing you during the workshop!

Structural Equation Modeling in R with the Lavaan package workshop

Learn how to use Structural Equation modeling in R! Join our workshop on Structural Equation Modeling in R with the Lavaan package which is a part of our workshops for Ukraine series. 


Here’s some more info: 


Title: Structural Equation Modeling in R with the Lavaan package


Date: Thursday, March 30th, 18:00 – 20:00 CEST (Rome, Berlin, Paris timezone) 


Speaker: Nino Gugushvili is a post-Doc researcher at the Department of Work and Social Psychology at Maastricht University.


Description: In this workshop, we will go over the basics of structural equation modelling (SEM). We will talk about what SEM is and cover the essential steps of SEM. Next, we will learn path analysis (SEM with observed variables), confirmatory factor analysis, and full SEM (SEM with latent variables + observed variables). Along the way, we will also talk about revising our models and interpreting the results, and we’ll do all this in R, using the Lavaan package.
