Dear colleagues,

We are excited to announce the program of the GESIS Fall Seminar in Computational Social Science 2024. The Fall Seminar takes place from 30 August to 27 September and offers a variety of introductory and advanced courses in computational social science methods in Mannheim and online. It targets researchers who want to collect and analyze data from the web, social media, or digital text archives.

Participants can pick from nine week-long courses, including introductory courses on Computational Social Science, Web Data Collection, and Machine Learning, and more specialized topics such as Automated Image and Video Data Analysis, Deep Learning for Advanced Computational Text Analysis, Agent-Based Computational Modeling, and Network Analysis. Lectures in each course are complemented by hands-on exercises giving participants the opportunity to apply these methods to data. All courses are taught in English.

For those without any prior experience in R or Python and those who’d like a refresher, we’re additionally offering two online pre-courses, “Introduction to R” (27-29 August | https://t.co/NmgKzH1lVm) and “Introduction to Python” (26-29 August | https://t.co/S4uhF2eASX).

All courses are stand-alone and can be booked separately – feel free to mix and match to build your own personal Fall Seminar experience that perfectly suits your needs and interests. There is no registration deadline, but places are limited and allocated on a first-come, first-served basis. To secure a place in the course(s) of your choice, we strongly recommend that you register early.

Thanks to our cooperation with the a.r.t.e.s. Graduate School for the Humanities at the University of Cologne, participants of the GESIS Fall Seminar can obtain 2 ECTS credit points per one-week course.
