Registration deadline: 06 Nov 2026!

Registration after this date might be possible, but is subject to sufficient demand and availability of places.

Researchers don't just analyze data - they make hundreds of decisions. Learn how to systematically explore these decisions, visualize their impact, and strengthen the transparency and robustness of your research in our upcoming multiverse .

Are you new to R or would like to refresh your knowledge? 💻

Emilia Kmiotek-Meier's hands-on welcomes you to the wonderful world of R: from wrangling to analysing to visualizing data, you'll be able to tackle your own R projects afterwards.

🎯 Learning objectives

By the end of the course, you will:
✅ know different object types in R
✅ be able to prepare data sets/variables in R
✅ be able to perform basic data analysis in R
✅ be able to produce basic data visualisation in R

🧩 Demystify statistical methods with simulation studies!

Join our with Matteo Quartagno and Tra My Pham to learn how to create, analyze, and report simulations in R and Stata. Discover when statistical methods perform well – or fail – identify potential biases, and compare alternative approaches.

🎯 By the end of the workshop, you'll be able to:
✅ Plan simulation studies by understanding the principles, rationale, and limitations of simulation-based research.
✅ Code simulation studies by designing, implementing, and debugging simulations in R and Stata.
✅ Analyze simulation outputs and interpret the results effectively.
✅ Report simulation studies by communicating findings clearly and preparing results for publication.

🚀 Your survey data alone may not be enough.
🔗 Ready to connect the dots?

Learn how to integrate survey data with nonprobability samples, administrative records, and digital traces in our – with plenty of hands-on .

Apply the methods to your own data!

Over three days, you'll cover:

• Day 1 – Inference for Nonprobability Samples: Weighting, calibration, propensity score methods, mass imputation & doubly robust approaches

• Day 2 – Record Linkage & Statistical Matching: Deterministic & probabilistic linkage, parametric & nonparametric matching

• Day 3 – Surveys & Digital Trace Data: Integration strategies & quality issues
