The first ISSAS will take place from August 24 to September 3, 2009, with the following agenda:

Mon Aug 24th evening: welcome and first meal about 20:00

Program: Methodology

The methodology period will be organized in half-day sessions. During each session, the speakers will give an overview of different methods, explaining their advantages, limitations and domains of application. This period will not involve intensive "hands-on" training in research techniques. Instead, it is aimed at giving the participants a clear understanding of the tools that they will encounter in their research and reading.
