International Research Workshop "Methods for Ph.D."

The international research workshop "Methods for Ph.D." will give students in the field of Social Sciences and Economics the opportunity to increase their knowledge in research with empirical data like the SOEP. The workshop will take place on October 5 -10, 2008 at 'Akademie Sankelmark' near Flensburg/Germany. The workshop language will be English and/or German. Interested parties from all countries are invited.

The Institute of International Management encourages especially those 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 (e.g. SOEP)

b) using the computer for content analysis and as a tool for statistics

c) writing a report and making presentations to share results

d) strengthening the cooperation in empirical research to boost and streamline one's project.
