École interdisciplinaire outils & méthodes (EIOM)

A Francophone summer school on interdisciplinary research methods

The Graduate School of International Studies (ESEI) and the Leadership Chair in Digital Social Science Education (CLESSN) have joined forces to create the École interdisciplinaire outils & méthodes (EIOM) at Université Laval.

The EIOM aims to promote empirical research tools and methods in the Francophone world. It offers methodological skills upgrading for graduate students and professionals who wish to expand their technical and methodological knowledge. The EIOM also provides an opportunity to share knowledge among an interdisciplinary network of researchers through conferences and other social activities.
