Following a successful first year, the second Summer School on Research Methods in Social Sciences will be held at METU, on 18-29 August 2014. The first program of its kind in Turkey and its neighborhood, the Summer School will bring together prominent international scholars as well as METU faculty to offer PhD students, early career academics and professionals cutting edge qualitative and quantitative social science research methods over a period of two weeks.
We are pleased to announce that registrations for the second IPSA-METU Summer School are now open. Organized in Ankara (Turkey) the school will contribute to the development of research networks and raising of the research standards in the nearby regions. The school, through special lunch and afternoon sessions, will also provide ample opportunity to discuss career issues such as publishing and applying for research projects. Participants will apply to one course among the six courses on offer as the courses are full time courses, half of the day allocated for lectures and the second half allocated for study sessions and lab work. Early registration is recommended. There will be a 10% reduction in the tuition fee for early birds and IPSA members.
METU is able to offer on campus accommodation for the summer school participants at affordable prices. A total of 60 rooms are reserved for IPSA-METU Summer School participants. The guest houses are a short distance to faculties and departments due to its location. There are METU and EBI shopping centers, banks, PTT, cafes and canteens, both indoor and outdoor sports facilities, health and culture centers, and library in walking distance. Participants willing to stay on campus are strongly advised to register early and state their choice in their registration forms since reserved rooms will be booked on a first come first serve basis.
