> What is Research? (2026) will bring together scholars to explore various
> natures, purposes, and roles of research across disciplines, fields, and
> areas. The event will consider frameworks of systematic and creative
> inquiry, including methods, designs, analyses, discoveries, collaborations,
> dissemination, ethics, integrity, pluralism, media/technologies, and
> information environments.
>
>
> The thirteenth What is…? gathering delves into research in its many forms,
> including searching, critically investigating, and re-examining existing
> knowledge, as well as emerging functions and procedures in machine
> intelligence and computation. It will highlight pluralities of research
> pathways, examining time-honored
>
> approaches and new ways of knowing, precedents, issues, and futures. It
> considers challenges and possibilities that researchers face in today’s
> rapidly changing world, and ways to promote ethical, accessible, and
> impactful research.
>
>
> Scholars, government and community officials, scientists, artists,
> students, filmmakers, grassroots community organizations, public sector and
> industry professionals, and the public are invited to collaborate.
> Proposals that take a transdisciplinary perspective are especially
> encouraged, drawing on insights and methods from multiple fields to shed
> new light on research processes.
>
>
> Presentations / panels / installations / experiential art may include
> these topics (as well as others):
>
> • How does research and creative scholarship emerge from inquiry? How do
> they impact society?
>
> • What are relationships between theory, method, and practice in research?
>
> • What are qualitative, quantitative, multimethod, multimodal,
> participatory & arts-based approaches?
>
> • What influences research design and data analysis?
>
> • What are issues involved in validation (e.g., reproducibility,
> replicability, and cross-validating)?
>
> • What are various modes of collaboration and how can they be organized?
>
> • What are some considerations in interdisciplinary and transdisciplinary
> research?
>
> • How are integrations of natural & artificial intelligence with quantum
> computing affecting research?
>
> • What are environmental considerations of developments in machine
> learning & large data centers?
>
> • How is research disseminated? How does it effectively engage publics and
> inform policy-making?
>
> • How are ethics imbricated in research and how can researchers conduct
> work with integrity?
>
> • What are benefits and challenges of compliance (e.g., privacy, security,
> review boards)?
>
> • How can research address global challenges (e.g., health, inequality,
> poverty, climate change)?
>
> • How is research used to drive solutions-based approaches and what are
> the challenges involved?
>
> • How does research in academia differ from research in industry and/or
> community?
>
> • What are the obstacles involved in translating findings into action?
>
> • What issues are involved in targeted, universal, and targeted universal
> approaches to research?
>
> • What are criteria and implications of various forms of research funding?
>
> • How are meta-analyses and systematic reviews engaging human-machine
> collaboration?
>
> • How can research education be integrated into teaching and learning? How
> are next generations of researchers being trained?
