The winner of the lottery scholarship for the March SmartPLS workshops was Ali Sadaqat of the University of East Anglia. In order to be considered for a scholarship: (1) you must be a full-time student (2) you must register for either workshop and (3) you must send an email to indicating that you registered and that you wish to be considered for the lottery scholarship.
In addition to being contacted directly, we will post his/her name on ELMAR once the winner is announced. We will take the names of all graduate students who register, and randomly select one of them for a complete scholarship. In cooperation with ELMAR posting this workshop notice, we are holding a lottery for one complete scholarship for graduate students who register for either workshop as a result of seeing this ELMAR notification.
Please note that a portion of the revenues from these workshops go to the respective University’s software development team to keep the cost and availability of SmartPLS free for academic use. (please copy and paste the url, do not click on it).
There is more information about workshop content and procedures for registering at the registration sites: The globally-available, synchronous, online workshops are scheduled for June 11-12 Noon-4PM EDT (GMT-5) and on June 18-19 6PM – 10PM EST (GMT-5).
The cost for full-time students (before May 16) is $175 (USD) (using the discount code ‘earlystudent’ while registering for the workshop). Before May 16th (early registration), the cost for faculty and/or practitioners is $250 USD (using the discount code ‘early’). This requires participating on both days and returning a learning diary after the event (4-5 pages).This is the first announcement of two online Structural Equation Modeling (SEM) workshops using SmartPLS for faculty, practitioners, and students during June 2010.

Organizer: Mikko Siponen, University of Oulu REGISTRATIONS Jörg Henseler, Institute for Management Research, Radboud University Nijmegen Wednesday 4th of July & Thursday 5th of July at Agora (Ag Alfa), University of Jyväskylä (Mattilanniemi 2, Jyväskylä) SPEAKERS Significance testing by means of bootstrapping.Measurement model evaluation and interpretation of PLS results.An introduction to structural equation modeling (SEM) and PLS Path Modeling.This seminar covers the following topics: The seminar contains several SmartPLS examples and exercises.
Participants will learn how to apply PLS Path Modeling by means of the SmartPLS software. This seminar provides a profound introduction to PLS Path Modeling. It is characterized by robustness, prediction orientation and its capability to estimate formative measurement models. Recently, PLS Path Modeling has encountered increasing popularity across many scientific disciplines as an easy, yet powerful, estimation technique for structural equation models. Structural Equation Modeling (SEM) with latent variables has become a quasi-standard in investigating complex causal relationships in business and social research. THE SOFTWARE SMARTPLS (free download from ) MUST BE INSTALLED SOME DAYS IN ADVANCE. IMPORTANT INFORMATION: PARTICIPANTS SHOULD BRING THEIR OWN LAPTOPS.
