General Activities
The Swedish research schools Quantitative Research Methods in Education (QRM) and Register-based Quantitative Research Methods in Education (R-QRM), both funded by the Swedish Research Council, offer advanced methods courses for PhD candidates and postdocs free of charge. While QRM covers a broad range of quantitative methods, R-QRM focuses on register-based research, longitudinal analysis and causal inference. Most courses are held mainly online, with opportunities to meet in person and build research networks. The research schools also organize an annual conference in June. Colleagues in Network 9 are welcome to apply for courses and attend the conference.
