Methods Fair

Research Methods in the Digital Age: Addressing Challenges, Realising Opportunities

Our annual conference, the Methods Fair, is organised in collaboration with our Methods NW partners and will take place on 15 May 2025.

Call for Contributions

We are pleased to open our call for contributions of poster presentations and lightning talks.

For those considering a contribution, we encourage a focus on the issues, topics, and questions you are currently grappling with. 

We welcome submissions from all PGRs and researchers using Humanities and Social Science research methods in their studies. You are not limited to the conference theme, but the following questions provide you with a starting point:

  • Key societal challenges increasingly recognise the value of interdisciplinary approaches. What are the barriers and challenges for Social Science and Humanities researchers engaging in interdisciplinary projects?
  • With the vast expansion of data sources relevant to researchers, how can we respond thoughtfully and insightfully?
  • Digital methods and tools are creating opportunities for innovation. Are we equipped to adapt and respond effectively?
  • How do we ensure we are making ethical choices, and how can we stay ahead when technology is developing so rapidly?

Visit the Methods Fair 2025 website to find out more about how you can contribute. The full Methods Fair programme (also including a keynote and workshops) will be announced soon.
