 The quantitative analysis component shares a number of the common aims of WISERD, specifically:

  • To build upon and develop existing expertise in quantitative research methods and methodologies
  • To build networks of researchers and research capacity across Wales in the economic and social sciences, as well as contributing to UK wide research capacity building
  • To explore the relationships between research data, research methods and the development and understanding of policy.
  • To develop a sustainable increase in the quantitative research base across the social sciences in Wales through academic appointments and training.

To increase collaborative interdisciplinary research grant applications and interaction with policy makers and the private sector through consultancy.
