Research Methods Workshops (SWARM)
Successfully run over the last several summers and attracting participants from the US, Europe and the Far East, Coller's Summer Workshops in Advanced Research Methods (SWARM) are 3 to 4-day state-of-the-art methodological workshops designed for junior faculty and PhD students in business and management and related fields (the social and medical sciences). Each workshop consists of 30 contact hours, with transfer credit available.
At SWARM you can learn the latest statistical methods in an efficient, effective and friendly manner. Our short workshops offer participants a hands-on setting in which they can acquire, discuss, and apply the latest advances in statistical analysis. Our faculty consists of all well-known experts who are at the forefront of research.
