Dear colleagues,

Please let me remind you that registration for the summer course "The
measurement of personal networks" (Barcelona, July 1 - 5, 2013) is still
open. There are a few places left, so if you are interested, please contact
us shortly.

The course is intended for PhD students and researchers interested in
designing their own personal network studies.

In this edition, we will present the new version of EgoNet which allows
multiple name generators and a flexible number or alters, and the prototype
of a smartphone app for collecting both cognitive and behavioral personal
network data, the Social Capital Companion, developed by Juergen Lerner of
the University of Konstanz.

The program includes discussions about name generators, name interpreters,
reliability and validity of the measures, and respondent burden. In
addition, mixed method designs in personal network research will be
discussed. Participants will have hands-on experience with  packages for the
collection, visualization and analysis of personal networks (EgoNet and
Vennmaker) and a specific module of a general package (Visone). An
international seminar on personal networks will end the course, with the
keynote speech of Betina Hollstein (University of Hamburg).

Registration deadline: June 28, 2013.

Lecturers (this list can change): Miranda J. Lubbers and José Luis Molina
(UAB) with invited participations of Juergen Lerner (University of Konstanz)
and Markus Gamper (University of Cologne).
