Research Summer School

Introduction
The EuRADE Summer School took place in Leeds on 21-25 July 2008. The Summer School was open to EDF members, and all the participants came from European or national level disabled people's organisations.

The Summer School introduced participants to the work of a variety of academics, from different disciplines and different countries, who carry out participatory research with people with disabilities and their organisations. In addition, participants were provided with training to enable them to elaborate their own research proposals.
 
More information on the Summer School programme, and links to all the material, is given below.
