"Digital transformation in research: Guidelines for data collection & interpretation in the online environment" is an ePublication designed for youth workers, project managers, researchers, and other stakeholders in youth work who aim to enhance their data collection and interpretation methods using digital tools. It offers practical guidance on integrating AI tools into research processes and adapting traditional methods to digital environments.
This output was inspired by the GEYC participation in the first RAY Thematic Seminar, “How to use research data for programme implementation,” held from June 11th to 13th, 2025, in Bratislava, Slovakia. The seminar, co-hosted by National Agencies of the European Youth Programmes from Slovakia, Bulgaria, Cyprus, Finland, and Romania, and coordinated by the RAY Network, aimed to explore the integration of data and evidence-based research into European youth programmes. The guidelines is published under the Erasmus+ Youth Accreditation project 2024-1-RO01-KA151-YOU-000208961, contributing to system development and outreach activities while building the capacity of the GEYC team.
