Workshops

We are offering three different workshop formats.

  1. The International QCA Expert Workshop
    This workshop takes place in November-December in Zurich. It was the first workshop of the International QCA Workshop Series and started in 2013. The Expert Workshop focuses almost exclusively on methodological and conceptual advances around QCA. During this workshop experienced QCA researchers can discuss the latest and most important developments around QCA. It takes place in a small group setting to allow for active participation among researchers with diverse academic backgrounds. Therefore, the number of participants is limited and participation is by invitation only.

  2. The International QCA Paper Development Workshop
    This workshop also takes place in November-December in Zurich. The PDW first took place in 2017. Within the framework of this workshop researchers working on papers involving QCA can meet QCA experts, get feedback on their on-going research, and learn about the latest methodological developments in QCA. It is an interactive workshop and centers on roundtable discussions but also offers participants insights into empirical designs, handling reviews, and using QCA software packages. Participation is through responding to a Call for Abstracts.
