The methodological basics of qualitative (social) research are presented by colleagues for colleagues. The aim of the format is to give the presenter the opportunity to familiarise themselves more intensively with a methodological topic and to exchange ideas with colleagues, while at the same time offering participants the option of refreshing or deepening their methodological knowledge.
As a rule, a researcher/young scientist presents the content of a topic, followed by a discussion. The form in which the topic is presented (e.g. PowerPoint, bringing along data material, visualisation in analysis software, etc.) can be decided by the presenter.
Who can take part?
All researchers (with or without a university affiliation) who would like to expand or deepen their knowledge of methodological principles and exchange ideas on methodological content
When and where does the method case take place?
The method case takes place quarterly on Mondays from 3-5 pm. As the method case thrives on the exchange between participants, the event takes place in person (Bezirkskrankenhaus Günzburg, Haus 92a, conference room 2.0G).
Address: Reisensburger Straße 30; 89312 Günzburg
