New CIVICA Research Hubs to Tackle Europe’s Challenges
The CIVICA alliance, of which Bocconi is a founding member, has launched a new flagship initiative strengthening long-term, interdisciplinary research collaboration with the announcement of the winners of the first call to create four Research Hubs. And Bocconi faculty will be involved in two of the projects.
Nicolò Cavalli will be involved in the SEPO (Scaling the European Polarisation Observatory for the study of social platforms and AI) Research Hub. This project aims to expand the European Polarisation Observatory from its current role as a growing data infrastructure into a durable research network and sustainable platform for collecting, processing and sharing social media and public opinion data. It seeks to support researchers and students within and beyond CIVICA by strengthening long-term data access and advancing the study of online social ecosystems across all of CIVICA’s thematic areas.
