Mixed-Methods Hackathon

Academic events
Qual+, Aalto University Center for Qualitative Management Studies and Aalto Economic Institute invites all Aalto scholars to participate in an engaged dialogue between qualitative and quantitative scholars, a Mixed-Methods Hackathon. Interaction between quantitative and qualitative research traditions can support each other in various ways. Qualitative scholars may find access to empirical programs that offer motivated questions and support sampling and access to significant data. Even if publications do not incorporate quantitative data, qualitative scholars will be supported in crafting motivated samples and impactful research problems. Quantitative scholars, in turn, will be supported the work of crafting new hypotheses and discussing the theoretical significance of their findings. The program and registration can be found below.
