ESRC funded Bayesian data analysis workshops for social scientists

The third and (possibly) final round of the workshops is open for booking. As with the last round we are planning a free R workshop before hand (reccomended if you need a refresher or have never used R before), but can't offer bursaries for this.

This is part of the ESRC Advanced Training Initiative.

The first two workshops are available for booking now (though places are filling up quite fast). They are primarily (but not exclusively) aimed at UK social science PhD students (so not just Psychology, but very much also Sociology, Criminology, Politics and other social science disciplines). We hope the workshops will also appeal to early career researchers and others doing quantitative social science research (but with little or no Bayesian experience).

The ESRC is supporting us with bursary funding for travel and subsistence (see web site for details). These are eligible to all UK social science PhD students (not just for those with ESRC funding), but such funded places are limited.

If the demand is sufficient we may try and put on additional workshops this year (though maybe I'm being too optimistic!). We ran extra workshops last June for this reason.

The registration cost for each workshop is £10 (for postgrads) and £20 (or others) - the information is buried in the booking link but we'll try and make that clearer ... The workshops are non-profit so this fee is to cover basic running costs (e.g., lunch etc.).
