Dear colleagues,

We wanted to let you know that there are still spots available for the GESIS Spring Seminar 2026. We would greatly appreciate it if you could share this information with students, post-docs, and researchers who may be interested in advanced training in quantitative data analysis.

The Spring Seminar is well-known for its high-quality training, combining state-of-the-art techniques with hands-on exercises led by leading experts in the field. In 2026, the focus will be on Advanced Regression Modeling, reflecting the latest advancements in social science research methodology.

The Spring Seminar 2026 will take place both online and in person at GESIS Cologne, Germany, from 9 to 27 March 2026.

Detailed course descriptions and registration information can be found here: https://t1p.de/spring2026.
