Empirical research is seeking through methodological processes to discover, hopefully, nontrivial facts and insights. Beside choosing a topic and grounding an idea in theory, empirical research consists of gathering and analysing data as well as presenting results in scientific contexts in order to contribute new issues to the body of acquired knowledge – not only to someone‘s own but also to that of others.
Our workshop tackles these steps of your research project:
- Gathering data via (un)structured interviews and analysing standardized survey data and
- using the computer for qualitative data analysis and as a tool for statistics.
These steps will strengthen the cooperation in empirical research to boost and streamline ones project.
The 7th International Research Workshop will take place at the Akademie Sankelmark (near Flensburg) and the University of Southern Denmark (SDU) – Institute for Border Region Studies from 29 September – 4 October 2013. The workshop programme will be available at the beginning of 2013 (March/April).
