SUMMARY:Research Methods Rendezvous
DESCRIPTION:The Research Methods Rendezvous (RMR) is a unique opportunity to explore puzzles\, ideas and questions\, and begin to transform them into research that is important\, feasible and impactful. \nThe RMR is a free\, innovative\, online initiative designed to be a source of inspiration\, a research incubator and a networking opportunity. Based on two half-day intensive sessions in autumn 2025\, the RMR explores two parts of the research process: \n\nI wonder: the curiosity that sparks our research (10 September)\nHow can we: the process of shaping those sparks into tangible projects (29 October)\n\nBetween the sessions\, a seven-week collaboration period enables participants to co-shape the development of ideas. Applications to participate are open until Wednesday\, 2 July 2025. \nRead more about the event below or download a PDF of the full call for participation. \nStructure of the rendezvous\nRendezvous One: I wonder…\n10 September 2025 \nRendezvous One concerns ideation\, the ideas we have as we start to generate our research projects. These come from unfinished questions\, empirical observations\, theoretical intrigues or methodological curiosities. Attendees will get the chance to hear lightning talks from researchers outlining these early-stage ideas. \nView the programme for Rendezvous One \nThe researchers presenting their ideas were selected by NCRM following a contributor application process earlier in 2025. All speakers are active researchers sharing their own early-stage work. \nThe interregnum\n11 September to 28 October 2025 \nDuring this period\, the ideas from Rendezvous One will be developed into sessions for Rendezvous Two. Discussion boards will be hosted on the RMR online platform for each idea presented. \nParticipants will be invited to contribute thoughts\, resources and suggestions. With the contributor’s approval\, you may also have the opportunity to take a more active role\, potentially joining a team developing a Rendezvous Two session. \nRendezvous Two: how can we…\n29 October 2025 \nRendezvous Two concerns how we turn our wonderings into researchable questions. Through 80-minute parallel workshops\, contributors and participants will discuss or co-develop ideas\, exploring methods and next steps\, whether that be developing bid applications\, forming networks or submitting paper proposals. \nFormat for Rendezvous Two\nSessions will typically follow one of the formats below. However\, alternative format suggestions are welcomed. \n\nSpeakers’ corner: Where an individual presenter may want to outline the possibilities of how they can develop their research curiosity into something workable.\nOn the sofa with: Where a session has more than one presenter and aims to generate possibilities through discussion\, with space for audience participation or a Q and A at the end.\nKitchen table: Open to variation in format but a standard approach would be a talk by one or more people and then the chair opens a discussion.\nIn the studio: This can be more creative in design\, but may involve several participants who co-design an event (perhaps using creative methods) to get attendees to join in.\n\nAll sessions in Rendezvous Two will be 80 minutes in length. Sessions will be developed during the interregnum and will be listed on the programme page when details are confirmed. \nLogistics\nThis is a free\, online event. \nWe will be using Whova to host the rendezvous. This is a dedicated online event platform that allows for networking\, polls\, gamification and one-to-one meetings. The platform will be available to participants for the duration of the event (including during the interregnum). \nBoth Rendezvous One and Rendezvous Two will take place in the afternoon on their respective days. \nExpectations\nWe expect delegates to attend both sessions of the rendezvous and actively engage with the online discussions during the interregnum. \nHow to apply to participate\nTo apply for a place at the RMR\, please complete our online application form. \nComplete the RMR application form \nThe application deadline is Wednesday\, 2 July 2025. Attending the event is subject to a successful application. \nHow to contribute\nThe call for contributions is now closed and the speaker line-up has been confirmed. The application deadline was 4 March 2025. \nFurther information\nFor further information\, please contact Sandra Gogacz: sandra.gogacz@manchester.ac.uk
