Necessary Condition Analysis

On Thursday the 14th of October, the first Necessary Condition Analysis (NCA) Paper Development Workshop took place. Our NCA ambassador Stefan Breet organized the workshop on behalf of the NCA Development Team to help researchers write convincing papers using the NCA methodology.

The workshop consisted of three parts. The first NCA paper development workshop started with a plenary session in which Professors Steve Gove and Jan Dul gave presentations about the latest developments of Necessary Condition Analysis. After a short break, three groups were formed to discuss the papers of the participants. The workshop ended with a short plenary session in which we awarded the first NCA Paper Development Workshop Encouragement Award.

At the end of June (21 - 25th), we held our annual NCA Summer Course. The participants from all over the world appreciated greatly this 5-day hands-on online course. For example, one participant thought highly of the "meaningful lectures leading to practical applications of NCA and possible publication".

To complete this course, participants have to write an extended abstract as their final assignment. This assignment was well-received as it "allows to working with NCA in research projects".
