Dear colleagues,
We are excited to announce the program of the GESIS Fall Seminar in Computational Social Science 2022: Join us at the new GESIS premises in Mannheim from 05 September to 23 September and choose from a variety of introductory and advanced courses on computational social science methods!
The GESIS Fall Seminar targets social scientists, data scientists, and researchers in the digital humanities that want to collect and analyze data from the web, social media, or digital text archives. Its courses are taught by both GESIS and international experts and cover methods and techniques of working with digital behavioral data ("big data").
Week 1 comprises courses on the foundations of working with digital behavioral data, courses in Week 2 focus on the collection and management of big data, and courses in Week 3 cover different techniques for analyzing these data. Lectures in each course are complemented by hands-on exercises allowing participants to apply these methods to data. All courses are held in English.
