On 26 and 27 July 2024, the doctoral students Petra Weixelbraun and Selina Gartner had the opportunity to participate in the 19th Berliner Methodentreffen at Freie Universität. With a total of about 500 participants, the Berliner Methodentreffen is the largest annual event on qualitative research methods in the German speaking area. Together with (study) colleagues, the two doctoral students gained insights into different methods and approaches of qualitative research and thus expanded their repertoire for their dissertations.
The stay in Berlin offered us possibilities for exchange with other motivated researchers from different disciplines. By participating in a joint dinner, we were able to deepen the newly gained contacts and gain insights into further research projects.
