In 2008, the European Consortium for Political Research (ECPR) will organise its third Summer School in Methods and Techniques in cooperation with the Faculty of Social Sciences, University of Ljubljana, Slovenia (dates: 30 July to 16 August 2008).

The ECPR Summer School in Methods and Techniques provides high quality up-to-date training in a broad range of specially selected methods across the whole spectrum of approaches employed within the social sciences. It will emphasise those methods which are particularly salient for research questions in political science and neighbouring disciplines, as well as dealing with all stages of a project and catering to the needs of research set at the macro and at the micro level, covering both 'quantitative' and 'qualitative' designs as well as more 'positivist' and 'interpretative' perspectives.

Here below is a quick overview of the training offer. After the success of the 2006 and 2007 Summer Schools, we have decided to further expand the training offer.

For detailed course descriptions and further information on tuition fees, accommodation and the application process, please go to the summer school pages on the main ECPR website: http://www.ecprnet. org
