Waseda University to Host "Japan QCA Conference 2026"
Waseda University has announced that it will host the "Japan QCA Conference 2026" over two days, on October 30 and 31, 2026. This conference is an international academic event focused on QCA (Qualitative Comparative Analysis), a research methodology used in the social sciences.
Since the first QCA Conference was held in Europe in 2013, it has been hosted in various locations around the world. This methodology is used to compare multiple cases to uncover the causes of complex social phenomena and has been attracting attention from many researchers in recent years.
Hosting this event in Japan will provide a valuable opportunity for not only domestic researchers but also experts from around the world to gather and deepen discussions on the latest research findings and methodologies. Further development of QCA is expected through this academic exchange.
Details regarding the conference and how to participate will be released sequentially on the official Waseda University website and other platforms. Those interested in academic research or those wishing to learn about the latest analytical methods should keep an eye out for future updates.
