Abstract	The project "People with intellectual disabilities in empirical social research" (MekoS), funded by Aktion Mensch, was carried out at the Institute for Empirical Sociology (IfeS) in Nuremberg from March to July 2017. The MekoS project pursued two main goals: The acquisition and expansion of the participating scientists’ competencies in communicating with people with (intellectual) disabilities and the empowerment of people with intellectual disabilities in research. Participants of the project were scientists from IfeS and employees of the Workshop for Disabled People Noris Inklusion (WfbM), the latter being people with intellectual disabilities. In order to get to know each other and to exchange information at eye-level, the participants visited each other at their workplaces. Several trainings on the topics of disability, communication, Easy-to-read language, and care rights were carried out. During these, the participants had the opportunity to cultivate self-awareness and reflection. They could practice their newly acquired soft skills with the help of a theoretical input from lectures given by expert speakers. Some training modules were inclusive, i.e. people with and without intellectual disabilities took part. As a central and sustainable project result, a two-part brochure was produced cooperatively. It includes a standard language section aimed at academics, which conveys various aspects of participatory research and thus provides support for inclusive research projects. In a second part, it informs people with intellectual disabilities in Easy-to-read about empirical social research. Easy- to-read was also used to create papers such as the consent form, all developed by both scientists and WfbM employees. The brochure can be downloaded free of charge.
