About
The Social Statistics Study Group (SSSG) aims to create a structured and dynamic community of social science researchers in Quebec who work with quantitative methods, as well as to contribute to the visibility of quantitative research at the UCS Center at INRS.
These objectives will be achieved through a series of conferences, trainings and workshops, as well as through direct financial support to students using quantitative methods in their dissertation or thesis.
The SSSG is placed under the direction of Xavier St-Denis, professor at the UCS Center at INRS. It was created thanks to a generous donation from André Lemelin, retired professor of the UCS Center.
