About event:
Join us for an inspiring and in-depth workshop tailored for researchers who are ready to elevate their skills in designing impactful and globally relevant studies.
This hands-on session will delve into advanced aspects of research design in the social sciences, including experimental and empirical validation strategies, psychometric measurement, study validity, and replicability. You’ll also explore qualitative research design techniques — such as case studies, focus groups, observation, and discourse analysis — as well as the integration of mixed methods.
What’s in it for you?● Learn how to build stronger, more credible, and more socially relevant studies.● Discover approaches that meet both the highest standards of international academic publishing and address real needs of Ukrainian society.● Get practical insights into combining qualitative and quantitative methods effectively.● Engage in dialogue with an internationally recognized expert who brings a unique Ukrainian-American perspective.
This workshop is designed for individuals who already have a foundational understanding of research methods, empirical evaluation, and ethics — and who are looking to go further.
