The QDWG is seeking 2 to 3 candidates to attend the Hackathon associated with the 18th European DDI Users Conference, Brussels (EDDI 2026), where you will explore using DDI Codebook (DDI-C) to describe qualitative or mixed-methods data from selected research studies.

This initiative aims to engage qualitative data metadata managers with DDI products and gather actionable feedback to advance the DDI standards for documenting qualitative data.

A total maximum budget of $2,000 will be dedicated to help cover accommodation and travel expenses during the Hackathon days for the 2 or 3 selected participants.

You can find more details and information on how to apply here or in the attached file.
