2012 Winter Program Notice

Dear ACSPRI Member Representative
 
Firstly, I'd like to wish you all the best for 2012.
 
Secondly, I wanted to let you know that bookings are now open for the 2012 ACSPRI Winter Program, which will be held at University of Technology Sydney from 25th June - 6th July. This is the first time that an ACSPRI Program of this size will be held in Sydney.
 
I have copied below a general notice regarding the Winter Program for circulation among research staff and HDR students in relevant faculties/divisions, if you would be good enough to assist. I have also included a couple of lines regarding the RC33 Conference the following week, which will be a very big event!
 
Please feel free to change the content as you see fit (e.g. the greeting or the words "our organisation" toward the end of the second paragraph) before pasting it into an email of your own. Of course, you are welcome to compose your own text instead if you prefer.
 
I understand that it is difficult for some of our representatives to circulate notices beyond their own division/faculty. If so, and you have not notified me previously, please let me know as I am happy to help by contacting the other relevant faculties directly in these cases.
 
If you require any further details about the program please let me know (martin.lynch@acspri.org.au)
 
Many thanks for your ongoing support.
 
Kind Regards,
Marty Lynch
Program Coordinator
ACSPRI

Dear Staff and Students
 
Enrolments for the 2012 ACSPRI Winter Program (25th June to 6th July, University of Technology Sydney) are now open!
 
The Australian Consortium for Social and Political Research Inc (ACSPRI) is a not-for-profit organisation that has offered short courses in research methods, predominantly for staff and HDR students at its member institutions, for twenty-seven years. These courses cover a range of qualitative and quantitative research and analysis techniques of various levels and include training in a number of research-based software (e.g. SPSS, AMOS, Mplus, Nvivo, Stata, R). Substantial discounts apply to bookings from our organisation, and a further discount is available for full-time post graduate students who complete and organise payment of their booking by the 8th May, 2012.
 
The 2012 Winter Program is easily the largest ACSPRI Program ever held in Sydney, with around twenty separate five-day courses on offer across the two weeks. It is being held in Sydney in time for the RC33 8th International Conference on Social Sciences Methodology hosted by University of Sydney from 9th - 13th July, which hundreds of researchers from around the world are expected to attend. See www.rc33.org for more details.
 
For the 2012 ACSPRI Winter Program, a full list of all courses on offer, the online booking facility and various other program details are available at www.acspri.org.au/winterprogram2012. Queries, including assistance with bookings, can be sent to winter2012@acspri.org.au.
 
While there is still some time before the Early Bird Deadline date (8th May), recent history tells us that several courses are likely to book out well before the pre Early Bird Deadline rush - so be quick!
