Call for Abstracts: Research Methodology Conference (RMC 2024)  

  

Title: Advancing Research Methods and Methodologies: Connecting Technology, Tradition, and Inclusivity Across Disciplines Towards the Future  

  

Date: 21 September 2024   

Venue: Online  

  

We are pleased to celebrate the 10th anniversary of the Research Methodology Conference (RMC), which is set to take place on 21st September 2024, in partnership with Coventry University’s Centre for Global Learning (GLEA).  

  

The conference invites a broad spectrum of participants, including established scholars, early-career researchers, and postgraduate students from the fields of Social Sciences, Arts, and Humanities. The theme for this year, "Advancing Research Methods and Methodologies: Connecting Technology, Tradition, and Inclusivity Across Disciplines Towards the Future," reflects our commitment to fostering a multidisciplinary dialogue that spans the gamut of research approaches. To further enhance accessibility and inclusivity, RMC 2024 will be hosted online for the first time, allowing participants from across the globe to engage without the barriers of physical distance.   

  

We strive to foster a supportive atmosphere that promotes meaningful engagement and constructive dialogue, empowering participants to contribute substantially to the conversation on how ongoing and future developments in research methodology can address urgent global challenges, including but not limited to environmental sustainability and climate change through diverse methods and methodologies. In doing so, we recognise the revolutionary impact of artificial intelligence (AI) and big data in research, while we also underscore the importance of adopting inclusive and diverse research practices.  

  

Acknowledging the profound influence of recent advancements in AI and big data analytics on research, the conference also highlights how methodological futures needs to be in continuity with the past and embedded in community, highlighting the invaluable role of indigenous knowledge, participatory research, and interdisciplinary approaches in developing sustainable solutions. These varied methods and methodologies offer a holistic view of environmental complexities and pave the way for future innovative strategies geared toward resilience and sustainability.  

  

The London Institute invites you to submit an abstract to the London Institute Research Methodology Conference (RMC 2024) that:  

  

Demonstrate innovative ideas and incorporate a broad range of discussions about the future of research methods, including but not limited to AI, big data, indigenous knowledge systems, participatory research, and interdisciplinary studies.  

Explore the ongoing and future integration of AI and big data in understanding environmental phenomena while valuing the role of traditional and non-technological methods in environmental research and policymaking.  

Advocate for ethical and sustainable research practices, emphasising the importance of inclusivity in research approaches to address global challenges.  

Highlight how future methodologies needs to be include collaborative methodologies, community-based research, and local solutions to environmental challenges, fostering dialogue among technologists, environmental scientists, policymakers, and communities.
