improving the UK's social science research capacity. The initiative partly
involves offering research methods courses at reduced rates:
£20 for students
£40 for staff and
£175 for others per day.
Other events such as short workshops are free of charge. Events and courses
currently planned are listed below, running before Easter 2007. Further
