5th Annual QE Community Data Challenge:
Transparency in Best Practices and Challenges

Sunday April 14th to Sunday April 21st, 2024

We’re excited to announce our 5th Annual QE Community Data Challenge!

The 5th Annual Data Challenge will take place across two sessions during which members of the QE community will work in small teams to analyze pre-selected datasets related to education, public health, and other areas of interest or to bring your own dataset for analysis. You will have an opportunity to indicate your session preference in the registration process. Aiming to foster QE community-building and collaboration, the Data Challenge serves as an opportunity for people to interact with others, collaborate on meaningful work, and learn from each other about QE tools, methods, and interpretative processes in an accelerated time frame. The event is open to everyone, regardless of experience level.

This year participants will again have two choices for selecting datasets:

  1. Classic: Join a team that mutually determines the dataset they wish to analyze (selecting from curated or co-created datasets that are new to all participants)
  2. OR

  3. Bring Your Own Data (BYOD): Be part of a team that has brought their own dataset and is seeking collaboration to gain insights from fresh analysis and findings

To get started, both novice and experienced QE researchers can find helpful materials at the QE Hub (https://www.qehub.org).
