Computational Social Science Workshop
Computational Social Science (CSS) is the topic of a two-day workshop organised by the Working Group on Applied Social Data Science (Kühne) at the Faculty of Sociology at Bielefeld University (ZiF). CSS has established itself as an independent field of research. It examines sociological, political and economic research questions that are often based on large, unstructured amounts of data. Computational methods are used. On 6 and 7 May, the workshop will offer CSS researchers from all over Germany the opportunity to network, exchange experiences and discuss the latest developments. The workshop will focus on the integration of innovative methods and data with social science theory in order to improve the quality and relevance of current CSS research and to contribute to scientific and societal debates. More information on the programme and registration is available at computational-social-science.org.
