NCRM summer school: Large and Complex Social Surveys – New Horizons
NCRM’s 2024 summer school will take place at the University of Edinburgh between 26 and 28 June. The free event will provide training on the use of new and existing survey data in social science research.
The theme of the summer school will be how survey-based social research can inform the development of policy, practices and service provision, and shape legislation. NCRM will cover costs for accommodation, meals and refreshments.
Programme
Recent advances in computing and information technology have expanded the horizons of survey data collection, survey data management and survey data analysis.
This summer school will focus on the emerging opportunities that survey resources offer for social science researchers. A unique element of the event will be showcasing Scottish datasets.
The event will begin at 12:00 on Wednesday, 26 June and close at 13:00 on Friday, 28 June.
Further programme details will be confirmed in the near future. This page will be updated when more details are available.
