The Data Donation Lab brings together researchers from different disciplines that are interested in the user-centered collection of digital trace data through data donations or related approaches.
In this regard, the Data Donation Lab organizes regular meetings and workshops to provide updates on the Lab's activities and provide researchers a platform to present their work and foster discussions across disciplinary borders.
If you are interested in our activities or want to join our meetings in the future, subscribe to our newsletter and we will keep you informed about upcoming events.
