The European Network for Qualitative Inquiry (ENQI) has been created by and for qualitative, creative and mixed-methods researchers or sympathizing stakeholders to 

• stimulate collaboration and exchange between qualitative researchers
• create opportunities for networking,
• enhance the visibility of qualitative research projects,
• strengthen the level of expertise in qualitative research
• increase the quality of qualitative research projects

The initiative was launched in the slipstream of the inaugural edition of the European Congress of Qualitative Inquiry (ECQI) in 2017, a sister event of the International Congress Qualitative Inquiry (ICQI). With this regional hub, we aim to lower the cost for participation of young scholars in the activities of a growing network of people involved in qualitative inquiry.  

Core activities of the network include:

• supporting and nurturing game changer initiatives in Qualitative Inquiry
• the coordination of the European Congress of Qualitative Inquiry
