Qualitative Research in Mental Health:
Trajectories Towards a New Era
We are online!
After a challenging year, we managed to successfully move the 8th Qualitative Research in Mental Health conference (QRMH8) online.
The online format presents us with the unique opportunity to spotlight the best of what the online modality affords – meaningful collaboration and the ability to reflect and connect with colleagues around the world. We hope that you will join us for this reimagined event, and celebrate our collective resilience and dedication to forging connections without boundaries.
We look forward to connecting with you!

All of us have been looking forward to organizing the QRMH8 conference
on site, in Valletta, Malta this September.
At the same time, vaccine distribution might not be widespread enough to allow attendees from many countries to travel or be reassured and relaxed about meeting with other people indoors.
All these concerns were also portrayed in the online survey conducted a few weeks ago, based on which the QRMH8 chairs have decided, after careful consideration, that the QRMH8 conference will move online. Despite the de-escalation of the pandemic, the situation in September seems to be dubious about the realization of in-person events.
We feel that making this decision early on, allows us to plan creatively for a vibrant, intellectually rich online conference, which will be a mixture of interactive live sessions with Q&As, interesting poster presentations, networking opportunities and pre-recorded content.
