They require specific, special research skills, knowledge and competences. Researchers entering demanding and difficult terrain face many ethical and methodological dilemmas and face ethical choices.

- Joint development of strategies for dealing with identified categories of problem situations derived from the experience of researchers.

- An attempt to face the most common ethical and methodological dilemmas experienced by the participating researchers.

- Identification of the situation of choices faced by researchers in the research process.

- Searching for strategies and ways to strengthen research resilience in the sense of resilience.

- Getting to know the Codes of Research Ethics that can be used by researchers in the field.research supervision.

The workshop will be conducted by an experienced field researcher and streetworker, carrying out research in demanding and difficult terrain, in poverty ghettos, excluded spaces, on the street with people involved in the activity of youth gangs, committing criminal acts, with people in the crisis of homelessness. It is intended primarily for those researchers who carry out or plan to carry out research in difficult terrain, in situations requiring exceptional interpersonal, mediation and negotiation skills, facing ethical and methodological dilemmas in their research work. Secondly for everyone.
