Dear colleague
We would like to announce our new autumn programme of events. Our researchers provide top class insight into contemporary issues in social research and each year we help a range of organisations and researchers to strengthen their research literacy and methodological capacity at high-quality, interactive learning events. As well as our open module programme we offer a range of different options for in-house training from bespoke, tailored courses to 'off-the-shelf' modules which we have ready for delivery.
We are also leading the development and delivery of the new ESRC funded Survey Skills programme for researchers early in their careers who want to gain a more rounded insight into the survey research process and a better understanding of the applied research world - see the website: www.surveynet.ac.uk<http://www.surveynet.ac.uk/> for details of ESRC funded training and placement opportunities.
NatCen Learning events benefit from the unique ability of our training teams to draw on their own extensive experience of applied policy research in the 'real world' and to share that experience with delegates facing similar challenges. We offer flexible training and learning events focusing on interactive knowledge exchange drawing on real world research examples.
Autumn 09 (follow the links for more detailed information on individual modules)
Please note that we offer discounts to participants from the academic and third sector
