FOR ACADEMIC AND SOCIAL RESEARCH

Explore everyday life, experience and social realities digitally.

Many social science questions concern experiences in a specific context and changes over time: how do routines change? How are care, work, mobility or participation experienced? Which situations shape decisions and relationships?

KERNWERT offers a flexible platform for digital qualitative research designs - from one-off data collection to longitudinal and multimodal studies. Participants can document experiences and situations through text, photos, audio and video; researchers shape fieldwork, explore contributions in depth and structure the material for further analysis.
