News alert 20/5/2020 – Conference postponement
After very careful consideration of all the parameters regarding the Coronavirus outbreak, the RC33 Local Organizers have decided to postpone the conference until 7-10 of September, 2021. The main concern has been the health of all conference participants and the limitation of the spreading of this new disease. In addition, many organizations (universities, research centres and international or EU organizations) have restricted their staff mobility and reimbursement which is causing serious stress to participants.
Thus the following parameters should be noted:
- The new dates regarding the conference are 7-10 of September, 2021.
- The venue will remain the same, “The Landmark Hotel” in Nicosia.
- The abstract submission system will reopen so that people may amend/update their existing work. It will also be possible to submit new work. The system will remain open until 31 of January, 2021.
- Please keep checking the conference website for further conference developments.
We would like to wish you all the best and we look forward to seeing you in Nicosia in 2021.

RC33 Thematic Focus: Empirical Research and Society
We live in an era of “alternative news” and “climate change denial”. We experience a political life where the populism prevails over scientific evidence. In such turbulent times, it is important for methodologists to investigate how to encourage society to re-focus on robust scientific evidence.
The conference covers the usual methodological interests of our members (qualitative, quantitative and mixed methods).
However, we are also interested in discussing the many underpinnings of empirical methodology: ethical, legal, social and political. We are also interested in investigating how to educate major stakeholders (e.g. politicians, the Press and the public) to become good consumers of research findings. Finally, we are interested in preparing younger people (e.g. primary and secondary education children) to develop into research-oriented citizens, i.e., citizens who expect to get answers from research, rather than from elsewhere.
