Methodology is clearly the corner stone of good scientific practice and a sound training in methodology will be essential for your professional future. There are however many different philosophies, approaches and techniques, many of them highly specialized. You should therefore carefully consider your choices of workshops both with respect to the requirements of your research and study project(s) and in a wider perspective, i.e. your training and skills in the field of methodology for the years to come. If unsure we recommend that you discuss your choices of workshops with your PhD supervisor or seek advice from another experienced person in your field of research or work. Of course you can also contact us to discuss this matter.
For a number of workshops you are expected to have some methodological background, namely knowledge, skills and some experience with empirical analyses in the social sciences. Before selecting a workshop, please read carefully the prerequisites listed with the workshops description before registering. If the prerequisites include skills with basic statistics and SPSS you might want to consider the free preliminary refresher workshop.
