On June 26-27, 2020, CRRC is organizing the Sixth CRRC Methods Conference, this time virtually. 

The two-day virtual conference seeks to answer if broad political, economic, and social changes across the South Caucasus have braught the three nations of the South Caucasus together or drawn them apart.

Five thematic panels and two roundtable sessions will unpack questions posed in this year’s conference theme. The Sixth CRRC Methods Conference will feature two keynote speeches, from Professor John O’Loughlin (University of Colorado Boulder) and Professor Julie A. George (The Graduate Center, City University of New York). Furthermore, CRRC offices will celebrate the release of another wave of the Caucasus Barometer survey.

 

Due to the risk of spreading COVID-19, CRRC-Georgia is temporarily stopping all face-to-face data collection until the situation surrounding the virus is under control.  This decision was made given CRRC-Georgia’s responsibility to its staff members, interviewers, and the wider public.
