About ICQE
Building on the success of previous ICQEs, the Eighth International Conference on Quantitative Ethnography will bring together scholars seeking to meaningfully analyze complex processes in rich datasets from the perspective of quantitative ethnography.
The goal of ICQE is to foster a community of researchers interested in sharing methodological innovations and applied research using techniques such as Epistemic Network Analysis across increasingly diverse and interdisciplinary fields. ICQE is a space for new and established quantitative ethnographers to share ideas, resources, and inspiration.
International Conference Center Hiroshima
Our venue, the International Conference Center Hiroshima (ICCH), is situated in the heart of the Peace Memorial Park—a location that serves as a global symbol of peace and resilience. As we gather to discuss the future of quantitative ethnography, there is no better place to foster international collaboration and visionary thinking. We look forward to welcoming the global research community to this world-class facility for a week of groundbreaking science and unforgettable cultural experiences.
