The Methodological Innovation Network was funded by the  and brought together parties central to different histories of QLR, along with a new generation of researchers for whom temporal perspectives enable a range of interdisciplinary and emergent research practices.

Five events took place over a twelve month period hosted by institutions across mainland Britain.
