Game Changers serve as inter-, multi- or transdisciplinary think tanks that will run over three days and will end up in a plenary where findings, strategies or lines of argumentation can be shared with the congress delegates.
Game Changers' topics are meant to address broader political or strategically important domains that cut across the community of qualitative researchers and inquirists and demand the attention of these communities. They are also meant to initiate discussions and the further development of qualitative responses to major challenges or newly emerging trends in society.
Leaders of think tanks are encouraged to propose a topic. Delegates that subscribe to a Game Changers session are encouraged to attend at least two sessions as well as the plenary. The group will work together to create a viewpoint, policy brief, strategic paper or response to the topic that can be shared via the European Network of Qualitative Inquiry. Where necessary, the Network can serve as a collective platform through which these viewpoints are disseminated simultaneously in relevant journals or provide further support to carry on with the work beyond the congress.
The time slot provided for a Game Changer is 90 minutes.
You will have to insert a title and an abstract of 750 words and give a minimum of 3 and a maximum of 5 keywords. After acceptance, you will be requested to submit a full paper, but you will not be obliged.

Dream Teams are meant to bring delegates together around a specific topic of interest in an open session to advance their thinking on a particular subject, challenge or theme. Dream Team sessions are meant to be interactive, inviting delegates into a thinking or working exercise. Preferably, Dream Team sessions should result in a writing collective to valorize the outcome of the session in a joint effort of presenters and participating congress delegates. They can be dissolved afterwards to create space for new Dream Teams at upcoming congress editions.
