The workshop language will be English. Interested parties from all countries are invited.

The organisers encourages especially those graduate students to come to the workshop, who need training in the process of choosing a topic, grounding the research idea in theory as well as gathering data, analyzing them, and presenting results in scientific contexts.

The workshop tackles these steps of Ph.D. students research projects:
a) gathering data via (un)structured interviews and analyze standardized survey data
b) using the computer for content analysis and as a tool for statistics
c) writing a report and making presentations to share results
These steps will strengthen the cooperation in empirical research to boost and streamline ones project.
