CIVICA Research : 1st Conference on European Polarisation

The CIVICA European Polarisation Observatory (EPO) is hosting the 1st Conference on European Polarisation.

Event, Research Seminar

⇥

The EPO is an interdisciplinary computational social sciences initiative founded to tackle the methodological and conceptual challenges  urrounding research on the impact of polarisation in European settings. The 1st Conference on European Polarisation presents a selection of works analysing polarisation at the intersection of cultural and political transformation, with a focus on computational advances and methods. The aim of this collection of works is that of broadening the understanding of polarisation in multi-party, multi-issue, and multi-national settings such as those of Europe, but also relevant elsewhere.
