Our Coalition Partner, the Vanderbilt University Center for Global Democracy, has launched the Summer School in International Survey Methods, an 8-day, in-person intensive training program focused on the design, implementation, and analysis of surveys, with particular attention to research conducted outside the United States.
Held on Vanderbilt University’s campus, the program brings together a distinguished group of instructors who are leaders in global survey research. Through lectures, applied exercises, and discussion, participants gain hands-on exposure to best practices in international survey methodology, from questionnaire design and sampling to weighting, longitudinal surveys, and experiments.
The program is designed for graduate students, faculty, and research practitioners in the social sciences. Advanced undergraduates with relevant preparation are also welcome to apply. Application deadline is February 9, 2026.
