From June 17 to 21, 2024, Mihaela Bronić attended the summer school "Qualitative Research Methods & Data Analysis" at the Global School in Empirical Research Methods (GSERM), held at the University of St. Gallen in Switzerland. 

The summer school programme focused on qualitative research approaches, including core methods such as grounded theory, narrative analysis, and case study research, with particular emphasis on research design, data collection (e.g., the use of interviews and focus groups), and strategies for analysing textual data (such as coding and memo writing). Participation in this summer school enabled her to further develop her skills in qualitative data analysis and research methodology, contributing to her professional and academic development. 

The summer school was funded by the National Recovery and Resilience Plan 2021-2026 – NextGenerationEU.
