Description

The International Congress for Qualitative Research and Theory Methodologies (ic-QRTM) is the annual global conference of the Institute for Research and Theory Methodologies (RTM). It brings together researchers, faculty, students, and practitioners from across disciplines and countries to share methodological innovation, engage in scholarly dialogue, and advance qualitative, multi-method, mixed-method, and grounded theory research. ic-QRTM operates as a fully virtual, open-access scholarly dissemination platform. All sessions are publicly available through RTM’s digital archive, extending the educational impact of the conference far beyond the live event.
