GESIS Training

GESIS Training GESIS Training offers a wide range of events, especially training courses in social research methods Since 2007 GESIS has merged into one institute.

GESIS – Leibniz Institute for the Social Sciences
The Foundation for Excellence

GESIS – Leibniz-Institute for the Social Sciences is currently the largest infrastructure institution for the Social Sciences in Germany. With more than 300 employees in two locations (Mannheim and Cologne), GESIS renders substantial, nationally and internationally relevant research-based infrastructure services. Established in 1986 as the publicly funded German Social Science Infrastructure Services, GESIS consisted of three independent institutes, "Social Science Information Centre" (IZ) in Bonn, "Central Archive for Empirical Social Research" (ZA) in Cologne, and "Centre for Survey Research and Methodology" (ZUMA) in Mannheim. In November 2008 GESIS has assumed the name addition "Leibniz Institute for the Social Sciences" to emphasize its membership to the Leibniz Association. GESIS Trainings
GESIS offers a wide range of events, especially training courses in social research methods, that develop participants’ applied research methods skills in depth and in breadth covering the whole survey life cycle. They impart advanced knowledge and practice-oriented skills in the area of social research methods for national and international researchers.

🧩 Demystify statistical methods with simulation studies!

Join our with Matteo Quartagno and Tra My Pham to learn how to create, analyze, and report simulations in R and Stata. Discover when statistical methods perform well – or fail – identify potential biases, and compare alternative approaches.

🎯 By the end of the workshop, you'll be able to:
✅ Plan simulation studies by understanding the principles, rationale, and limitations of simulation-based research.
✅ Code simulation studies by designing, implementing, and debugging simulations in R and Stata.
✅ Analyze simulation outputs and interpret the results effectively.
✅ Report simulation studies by communicating findings clearly and preparing results for publication.

🚀 Your survey data alone may not be enough.
🔗 Ready to connect the dots?

Learn how to integrate survey data with nonprobability samples, administrative records, and digital traces in our – with plenty of hands-on .

Apply the methods to your own data!

Over three days, you'll cover:

• Day 1 – Inference for Nonprobability Samples: Weighting, calibration, propensity score methods, mass imputation & doubly robust approaches

• Day 2 – Record Linkage & Statistical Matching: Deterministic & probabilistic linkage, parametric & nonparametric matching

• Day 3 – Surveys & Digital Trace Data: Integration strategies & quality issues

Conducting surveys across languages? 🌍
Translation quality makes or breaks cross-cultural comparability. Our one-day online covers best practices for questionnaire translation, as well as the opportunities and risks of integrating Hashtag into your workflow.

You will learn:
📌 TRAPD best practices and translation Dos & Don'ts
📌 How to integrate LLMs into questionnaire translation workflows
📌 How to evaluate human and machine/LLM-generated translations
