1st Annual IPSA-HSE Summer School in Concepts, Methods and Techniques in Political Science

Organized by the Higher School of Economics, St. Petersburg’s and Higher School of Economics, Moscow’s Departments of Political Science and the International Political Science Association (IPSA), the Summer School is designed to provide basic and advanced training in a wide range of social science methodologies and techniques.  The School invites high-potential scholars of political science, international relations, and related disciplines from across the globe and diverse educational, professional and methodological backgrounds.  While we expect that most participants to be current faculty members, post-doctoral or doctoral students, we also welcome advanced masters’ students as the Summer School participants.   

The IPSA-HSE Summer School instructors represent the very best professorial talent offering courses in a broad range of qualitative and quantitative methods.
