This is a proposal for a novel set of inter-related training and capacity building activities bringing together industry and social science researchers and teachers. The activities draw on the knowledge, skills and insights from advanced quantitative social science methods and data analysis. It is an innovative attempt to bring together stakeholders in industry with social scientists engaged in advanced quantitative methods, data analysis, data science, and big data.There will be two phases to the work. Phase I will comprise two work packages. Work Package 1 will map the current terrain of knowledge and skills training in advanced quantitative methods and social science data analysis. Work Package 2 will identify industrial partners and scope out their knowledge and skills requirements in big social science data analysis.Phase II will comprise one work package. In Work Package 3 we propose to design and deliver a short series of training activities. The central aim will be to undertake activities that directly target the identified gaps between existing social science training and the needs of partners in industry that would benefit from developing workforces with big social science data analytical skills.
