To obtain this document, you are asked to do the following:

• book the option “ECTS Credits” via our booking system when you register for your course. If you want to book the option later, please send a mail to summershool(at)gesis(dot)org. Please note that you can only book the document prior to the course start date.
• agree with your lecturers during your course on a topic for your paper.
