Welcome to the 4^th Aachen International Summer School in Research Methods and Data Science (ACISS)! The School of Business and Economics is glad to announce its fourth research-oriented summer school for Post-Docs, PhDs, and advanced master students from all areas of specialization.

Eight intensive, one-week courses will be offered during the period from August to September 2018. All courses will be highly interactive, method-, and application-oriented. They will be delivered by outstanding instructors from RWTH Aachen University and other prestigious international universities. These courses have been designed to equip you with insights into state-of-the-art research methods and supporting software packages. You will also have the opportunity to apply these insights in order to solve hands-on research problems and to discuss your findings with your peers. What better way to prepare for your empirical master thesis, PhD project or journal publication?

Your instructors will also spend time describing their own academic career trajectory, extracting lessons learned and discussing the particularities of academic careers in their respective countries.
