AQMeN - Applied Quantitative Methods Network

Welcome

Susan McVie December 2009 marked the first of our AQMeN events, in the form of our inaugural Annual Lecture and a training event on life tables, both of which were delivered by Professor Phil Rees from the University of Leeds. The slides from both of these events are available.

The AQMeN team is currently planning a programme of seminars, workshops and training events for 2010. This programme will be based on the responses from our online survey and feedback from our awareness seminars in which we have consulted with social scientists across Scotland. The preliminary results from the online survey show those aspects of training that are in most demand. However, consultation is ongoing so please participate in our online survey if you have not yet done so, or email us if you wish us to carry out an awareness seminar for your organisation.

The first event of the year entitled ‘The Changing Face of Scotland’ will be held in March as part of the ESRC Festival of Social Science (see below for further details). We are also planning to hold our first Doctoral Training event in May. Details of this, and all of our other events, will be published shortly.

I look forward to meeting you over the course of the year.

Susan McVie, Director
