NVivo is used for qualitative research methods such as grounded theory (GT), content analysis, phenomenology, discourse analysis, literature reviews, and more. NVivo facilitates your research process by making it easier to organise and sort rich text research data.

Reading or writing with other people, in a quiet and inspiring environment, is an effective way to boost your focus. Our reading retreat last for three hours and starts with a short planning session where we set goals for our reading and finishes with a short summary and reflection. We take breaks together, have some coffee (and fika!) and talk about how things are going.

Bring texts you need to read or a text that you are working on and be prepared to get a lot of work done! The retreats are held in English, but you are welcome to read or write in whatever language you like.
