Join us for an immersive pre-conference workshop that brings the Universidad Francisco Marroquín’s Prosperity Lab to life. In this interactive session, you’ll dive into the Lab’s innovative project design, rich data resources, and framework for understanding life quality, human well-being, and prosperity.
Over the course of three energetic hours, you’ll roll up your sleeves and work directly with Prosperity Lab’s, field-collected datasets. With access to the data, you’ll explore its research potential, workshop project ideas, and develop concrete next steps tailored to your own scholarly interests in quality of life and well-being.
You’ll engage with three major, data sources from Guatemala that illuminate some of the core drivers of human flourishing:
Global Entrepreneurship Monitor (GEM): Insight into the entrepreneurial ecosystem—from micro-ventures to large-scale innovators.
Luces de Desarrollo (Poverty Stoplight): A person-centered assessment that empowers individuals to identify and improve the dimensions of their own well-being.
Business Development Plans: Real-world stories and data on how thriving small and family businesses elevate life quality for owners, employees, and communities.
By the end of the workshop, you'll walk away with a solid grasp of the Prosperity Lab datasets and a set of actionable research ideas ready for future development. Join us to turn data into discovery—and inspiration into impact.
We’ll spend three interactive hours together, with a quick 20-minute break halfway through to stretch, refuel, and reset.
To dive fully into the data, participants should bring a laptop equipped with their favorite statistical tools. Workshops like this have previously ignited exciting collaborations and long-term research projects—and we’re eager to see what new ideas and partnerships emerge this time around.
