DESCRIPTION:Qualitative research has come of age and is in a permanent pro
 cess of proliferation. Different research programs and approaches have dev
 eloped and the variety of qualitative methods is permanently growing. At t
 he same\, qualitative research has become a serious player in research whe
 n it comes to funding\, evaluation and research based counselling of admin
 istration and political institutions. At this point\, several challenges a
 rise for qualitative research(ers). One of them is how to make use of the 
 potential in the variety of existing qualitative approaches\, another one 
 is how to make use of quantitative approaches in the context of qualitativ
 e research. In the methodological discussion\, we find several ways of add
 ressing these challenges. Mixed Methods is a keyword that has attracted a 
 lot of attention in the last decade\; Triangulation has a longer tradition
  in this context\, but its potentials are not always spelled out and used 
 in an appropriate way. And finally\, approaches of an integrated research 
 may become a perspective to make distinctions in research programs a fruit
 ful perspective for appropriate research designs and projects. In this tal
 k\, I will give an overview of the state of the discussion on using multip
 le methods in qualitative research before in the second part the potential
 s and the limits of using mixed methods\, triangulation\, and integrated r
 esearch in this context will be outlined.
