Dear AIB-Colleagues, For those seeking to boost research productivity, publish, and expand co-author network: X-Culture Research Hackathon. You may have heard about the X-Culture Project. About 5,000 people working in 850 global virtual teams from 40+ countries participate in the project every semester. The teams are closely observed and the project generates tons of data. We track over 2,000 variables; longitudinal, multi-level, multi-source, multi-method data. The data are suitable for studying just about any aspect of teamwork, international collaboration, org. behavior, and international business. Think about it as a giant virtual research lab. We believe in open collaboration, so we share our data. More on our data and principles of collaboration here: https://urldefense.proofpoint.com/v2/url?u=https-3A__x-2Dculture.org_for-2Dresearchers_data_&d=DwIFaQ&c=nE__W8dFE-shTxStwXtp0A&r=6Y2QCNo0G4B9Jb70PwpmYHiR9ZnKL_MZSkQd5jQW3Rs&m=ZK3Q9WxPCiXvsF2H3XdAYXH-DLUffMXNDJHGwqSQrqc&s=Tet3OU4tdKuSl42EwUmLy_8_p-Vz0h_qF8w-J7NjNa8&e= *** To boost our research productivity and collaboration, X-Culture organizes regular research HACKATHONS, a.k.a.
