The next meeting of the Working Group Structural Equation Modeling (SEM) will take place on March 22^nd and 23^rd 2012 in Amsterdam at the Research Institute Child Development and Education. Both theoretical scientists and practical users with an interest in SEM are invited to participate and submit an abstract.

The Working Group "Structural Equation Modeling" was founded in 1986. Problems and developments of structural equation modeling are discussed in meetings or small conferences held annually in various locations in Germany, the Netherlands and Switzerland. The group has an informal character. There is no affiliation to any research organization. Exchange and presentation of methodological problems in structural equation modeling and related fields are the main goal of the group.

The meeting will last two days. Talks will be about 30 minutes including 10 to 15 minutes for discussion.

Abstracts should be sent to Suzanne Jak (S.Jak@uva.nl) by the 10^th of February.
