    Dear OB-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, OB 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://x-culture.org/for-researchers/data/

    ***

    To boost our research productivity and collaboration, X-Culture
    organizes regular research HACKATHONS (aka Paper Development Conference).

    Four-day, non-stop paper development marathon.  You return home with a
    clear paper idea, co-authors, initial results, feedback, and a draft of
    paper.

    We provide transportation from and back to Minneapolis.

    COST:

    APPLICATION DEADLINE:
