The final program for the 41st Q Conference is now ready!

final Program

This year’s program reflects the diversity and vitality of the Q community. Whenever possible, paper sessions have been grouped around methodological advances or shared topics of study, encouraging deeper dialogue and cross-session connections.

Each paper is allocated 20 minutes, including 15 minutes for presentation and 5 minutes for Q&A. The schedule includes multiple breaks and informal events designed to encourage continued conversations and networking beyond the sessions.

As part of our efforts to foster meaningful exchanges, we may invite session chairs to provide a short summary and highlight key questions from their sessions. These will be shared during daily debriefings to help identify common themes and challenges, and to inspire future Q methodology events.

In addition, we are launching a conference-wide exploration of how Q methodology can be applied by practitioners. A dedicated Q study will unfold throughout the event, shaped by your input during sessions and informal exchanges. We’ll share the results and practical tools in a special session on the final day.

Thank you again for your valuable contribution – we’re looking forward to a stimulating conference in Grenoble and online!

Social Event

As part of the social program, we invite you to join us for a scenic and convivial evening above Grenoble. We’ll take the city’s iconic “bulles” cable cars up to the Bastille fortress, a 19th-century military fort perched at 476 meters above sea level. Originally built to defend the city, the Bastille now offers one of the best panoramic views in the Alps, overlooking the city and the surrounding mountain chains—including, if the weather is kind, a view of Mont Blanc in the distance.

The ride to the top takes just a few minutes and requires no physical effort, making it accessible to all. After enjoying the stunning landscape and a bit of history, we’ll descend together and head to a festive group dinner in the city, where conversations and connections can continue in a relaxed atmosphere.
