<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:10.5pt;color:black;mso-fareast-language:EN-GB">The plan of each of the seminar is 30 min talk + 30 min discussion. In the first part of the first 30 min, the invited speakers will talk shortly about their research
in general. In a second part of the 30 min slot, they will go into the methodological details of using qualitative data and methods in their modelling practices. The third part of this 30 min slot will focus on brief stories related to the modelling process
- this would be more about the personal experiences of modelling, challenges when interacting with colleagues, managing the participation of informants, publishing the research etc.</span><span style="color:black"><o:p></o:p></span></p>
