Experimental Political Science Research Network
The POLEXP Experimental Political Science Research Network, funded as a Network of Excellence by the Ministry of Economy and Competitiveness (CSO2015-71952-REDT), aims to foster coordination and academic exchange between research groups working in experimental political science , as well as the training of doctoral students in experimental methods and the connection between the member groups, and between them and international researchers working in experimental political science. The network will also participate or promote actions aimed at the generation or promotion of research infrastructures (online and in-person laboratories, panels) and encourage cooperation between research groups to take advantage of economies of scale.
The activities of the network so far include the organisation of the 2nd Barcelona-Gothenburg Workshop on Experimental Political Science or the 1st Netquest-Polexp call for experimental research designs for young researchers.
