General description of the workshop

The course is addressed primarily to people who just want to try their hand at implementing their own research projects using CAQDA programs. In their case, a good idea may be free software, which in most cases is a good alternative to still quite expensive and therefore not always widely available paid programs. Therefore, during the workshop, participants will learn about selected, free programs supporting the process of qualitative data analysis.
