Pre-Conference Course on Interpretive Methods

Pre-Conference Course on Interpretive Methods

In order to continue its successful history we will organize a pre-conference course on interpretive methods and methodologies the day before the conference starts, on Tuesday, July 2^nd 2013. Taking place already for the third time this day-long event is intended to introduce participants – from doctoral students to more seasoned researchers – to interpretive policy analysis. For the participation at the Pre-Conference you will receive 1 ECTS point

The pre-conference will be divided in a plenary session in the morning, and parallel sessions focusing on different methodological approaches in the afternoon. These afternoon sessions will be more on “how-to-do” and thus be more workshops than lectures, where participants are invited to bring their questions to the discussion. It is not designed, however, for participants to present their work (for that see Methodology Workshops in the regular conference programme, Panel 100).
