Wednesday 4 – Friday 6 November, 2015 in Addis Ababa, Ethiopia
**Closing date for all applications: 20 September 2015**
The African Tax Administration Forum (ATAF) and the International Centre for Tax and Development (ICTD) are organising a training event on research methods for researchers involved in the area of taxation. This Research Methods Training and Dissemination workshop will be the key capacity building activity of the African Tax Research Network (ATRN) and will take place every year after the ATRN annual Congress. The inaugural Research Methods Training and Dissemination workshop will be launched in Addis Ababa from 4 – 6 November 2015. The course aims at strengthening the research capacity of researchers who are already working in the area of taxation and development but who feel their work could be improved with more rigorous methods. The training aims at providing an opportunity to reflect on the researchers’ work in a critical way, rather than being an introduction to entirely new methods. This will ensure ’hands on’ learning where researchers will think about their own work more rigorously and receive practical feedback on how to improve their research. Furthermore, a dissemination and publication session is intended to provide useful tips and tools to publish the research papers as academic articles and to communicate key findings to broader policy audiences.
