All day, Wednesday 2 July 2014 - Friday 4 July 2014

Place: School of European Languages, Translation and Politics, Cardiff.

This three-day event is hosted by Cardiff University and aims to explore different methodologies, methods and skills. It will look at how they can be employed and developed in PhD projects and how they can assist in advancing a career in academia or beyond. By mixing several innovative formats, including keynote lectures, methodology workshops, a methods café, and a conference format, this event provides the opportunity to learn new skills, improve existing ones and reflect on how to ‘survive’ academia.

This innovative workshop is open to all Wales DTC postgraduate social science research students free of charge (i.e. students registered at Aberystwyth, Bangor, Cardiff or Swansea Universities).  For non Wales DTC social science PGR students registered at a UK HEI, there is a nominal charge of £25 for one day, £45 for two days and £60 for the whole conference. The workshop will include over 20 speakers from Aberystwyth, Cardiff and Swansea Universities.

You can download the revised programme, and students should register as soon as possible with Joanne Wright (europ-events@cardiff.ac.uk; telephone 02920 879656) indicating how many days you are attending and whether you require accommodation.
