Experimental Design for High-Impact Research

A Hands-on FDP on Experimental Methods in Management & Social Science Research

ServiceSetu Academics is pleased to announce a 5-Day Online Faculty Development Programme (FDP) on Experimental Design for High-Impact Research, aimed at strengthening participants’ ability to design, analyse, and publish rigorous experimental studies in management and social sciences.

Experimental research has become central to high-quality publications in leading journals. This FDP goes beyond theory to offer conceptual clarity, practical design insights, and hands-on guidance, enabling participants to confidently apply experimental methods in their own research.

📅 Programme Details

• Dates: 12–16 January 2026
