New Network Launched: “AI meets Qualitative Methods”
In June 2025, a new interdisciplinary network was launched within the context of the ComAI sub-project Higher Education: “AI meets Qualitative Methods” (AIQM) brings together researchers interested in critically and practically exploring the role of artificial intelligence in qualitative research.
The initiative emerged from the observation that while AI tools – from structuring interviews to analyzing large volumes of text – are increasingly used in research, shared standards and spaces for peer exchange remain scarce. AIQM addresses this gap through regular meetings, workshops, tool testing, joint publications, and a commitment to fostering a reflective and responsible research culture.
The network is open to doctoral researchers, postdocs, and advanced Master’s students. The initiative is coordinated by Veronika Graceva.
For more information about the network’s background, goals, and planned activities, see the blog post on the ifib website.
