MAXQDA Professional Trainer:
Gvantsa Salukvadze

• Grounded Theory
• Qualitative Data Analysis
• In-depth Interviews
• Content Analysis

I’ve developed customized workshops for interdisciplinary research teams, emphasizing the integration of qualitative and quantitative data using MAXQDA’s mixed-methods tools.

I have conducted MAXQDA training sessions at multiple institutions, including the University of Innsbruck, Tbilisi State University, Akaki Tsereteli State University, and the University of Zurich, focusing on qualitative data analysis for socio-economic and environmental research.

My role as a MAXQDA trainer extends to ongoing research in rural and mountain development, where I actively use and demonstrate MAXQDA’s capabilities in field research and data analysis.

I incorporate MAXQDA into hybrid learning environments, enabling students from different countries to collaborate on data analysis projects, fostering international academic exchange.
