We are currently exploring the possibility of organizing other styles/types of workshops. Please let us know if you personnally would be interested in participating in such a workshop.

3.1 Data set oriented workshops

In the empirical social sciences, large surveys and large survey collections are an essential part of the infrastructure, therefore we consider proposing workshops that concentrate on a specific data set collection and the analysis that can be performed with them. It could be an introductory workshop that shows you how to analyze the data, or a "data confrontation seminar" where experienced participants, sharing a common theme, confront and debate results they are producing together during the workshop.
Tick all that apply:

I would consider partipating in an introduction to the use of such a dataset
I would consider participating in a data confrontation seminar
As a full-week workshop during the Summer School.
One-day workshop on a Saturday during the Summer School
One-day workshop e.g. in Neuchâtel during the year

Datasets:

Swiss Household Panel ISSP Eurobarometers
Vox Selects Public Use Sample
(sample of the census)

Comments/suggestions (form of workshop, data sets etc).

Workshops for those who teach methodology in the Social Sciences:

Please tick all workshops that appeal to you by indicating one or serveral forms of the workshop as shown in the first three columns of the following table.
"Week SS" means full week during the Summer School, "Day SS" a saturday during the Summer School and "Day year" another day during the year, e.g. in Neuchâtel.
