This page consists of workshops that are offered by the UI3/ITS-Research Services and the Iowa Social Science Research Center (ISRC). Each of the workshops held by UI3/ITS-RS are between 2-4 hours long, while the ISRC holds 50 minute, classroom-style workshops designed to fit into the class schedule of many students. The workshops held by ISRC are stand-alone and serve as precursors to the UI3/ITS-RS workshops. Please visit the Events page for the current listings by UI3/ITS-RS and the ISRC website for more details.
