Summer School in Methods and Techniques at the University of Ljubljana (Slovenia)
2006-03-28 00:20
From 2006 onwards (dates for 2006 : 7-18 August), the European Consortium for Political Research (ECPR) offers a new Summer School in Methods and Techniques in cooperation with the University of Ljubljana (Slovenia). It is targeted at advanced students (Master, beginning Ph.D) and junior researchers in political science and sociology, but students from all social and behavioural sciences are most welcome.
The aim of the summer school is to provide methods training opportunities in addition to MA and PhD curricula at European universities and to foster debate, interaction, and mutual understanding between various methodological perspectives at an early stage in academic careers. The curriculum covers introductory and intermediate courses in both quantitative and qualitative methods, and also features some plenary lectures and debates, so as to increase alertness of young researchers to other methodological perspectives and possibilities.
The 10 parallel courses offered in 2006 are :
1. Basic Statistics
2. Mathematical Concepts and Formal Modelling
3. Expert Interview
4. Cross-National Survey Design and Analysis
5. Multivariate Regression Analysis
6. Interpretive Methods
7. Quantitative Textual Analysis
8. Systematic Comparative Methods
9. Comparative Historical Analysis and Case Study Design
10. Network Analysis
NB : special attention has been made to keep the registration fees low, and also to provide some low-cost accommodation possibilities, to enable young researchers from all over Europe to access the summer school. Researchers and advanced students from ECPR-member institutions may also apply for specific support through the ECPR (see ECPR web pages).
Full information (including detailed brochure in .pdf format, contact details etc.) is available on the official Summer school web pages : http://www.essex.ac.uk/ecpr/events/summerschools/ljubljana/index.aspx (can also to be reached through the ECPR main page : http://www.essex.ac.uk/ecpr/ )

Congratulations Simon! I am sure your lecture was very inneerstitg and probably open minded to these students. Definitely, megaevents are a fruitful subject to be considered by the international relations. But also, in the case of Brazil we can see the use of soccer in this matter, when some friendly games are played in order to improve the political image of Brazil in other countries. The past president created a secretary inside the international relations to work with sport and seek for ways to use it as a tool of relationship with other countries. That is an inneerstitg area of investigation and I am glad that in Slovenia students are aware of it! |
