In 2009, the European Consortium for Political Research will organise its fourth Summer School in Methods and Techniques in cooperation with the University of Ljubljana. It is targeted at post graduate students, teachers and researchers in political science and related disciplines.

The aim of the Summer School is to provide methods training opportunities as a supplement to MA and PhD curricula at European universities, as well as to foster debate, interaction, and mutual understanding of various methodological perspectives. The curriculum covers introductory and intermediate courses in both quantitative and qualitative methods. Participants who successfully complete their courses will be awarded up to 5 ECTS credits by the University of Ljubljana.
