VOSON Lab in the UK: Dr Rob Ackland runs training workshops as part of the NCRM International Visitor Exchange Scheme (IVES)

Organised by the National Centre for Research Methods (NCRM), the IVES scheme is aimed at enabling UK social scientists to engage with methods development internationally, in order to stimulate debate and develop ideas (with associated outputs) in relation to methodological innovation in the social sciences.

The scheme provides for incoming and outgoing visiting scholar awards. The incoming visiting scholar awards are for noted overseas experts working at the forefront of key methodological areas to visit a UK centre of methodological excellence.

• 30 June 2017 - University of Exeter Q-Step Centre
