Below you will find information about the workshop and a link to register!

Researchers are encouraged to participate in large research projects (e.g., EU-projects) involving partners from different academic disciplines who are based in different countries. Researchers are also increasingly encouraged to share their data material. However, being involved in a research project does not necessarily imply working together to analyse the data and taking advantage of the diversity of the research team to produce new knowledge. Collaboration between researchers and research participants is regularly discussed and problematised. Collaboration among (academic) researchers, by contrast, tends to be taken for granted and is less often a topic of discussion. 

About the workshop

This workshop aims to bring together LU researchers who have previously been involved in or are about to start working in large research projects to reflect about methodologies that support collaborative research.

The workshop will focus on collaborative methods and discuss questions such as: What are our experiences of collaborative methodologies and analysis tools? What are pros and cons of these methods? How to work collaboratively in studies based on a qualitative, quantitative, or mixed research designs? How to analyse data that were collected in different contexts and in different languages? How to work in an inclusive and intersectional way with a diverse research team based in different countries? Should we expand our academic toolkits and draw from methods developed by other actors in the civil and private sector? Depending on the wishes of the participants, the discussion will centre on the ins and outs of putting together a research team, the process of collecting and analysing data together, and ways to write, publish and disseminate research findings together.
