Programme Description
How To Measure Complex Phenomena In The DigitalSociety?
In an era where digital transformation is reshaping societies and digital phenomena are increasingly regulated, understanding and measuring the impact of technology on the economy, social behaviour, fundamental rights and democracy has become essential.
The rapidly evolving media landscape, the pervasive spread of disinformation online, and the challenges of safeguarding media pluralism are just a few of the pressing issues and complex phenomena that require rigorous analysis and innovative methodologies, which are complex in themselves.
The Centre for Media Pluralism and Media Freedom is offering a unique training programme designed for early and mid-career researchers to delve into methodologies for analysing and measuring complex phenomena in the digital society.
The focus of this training is to explore the main existing sources of information and their application in measuring key aspects of the digital transformation, in addition to identifying advanced methodologies for measuring complex phenomena in the digital society. In particular, participants will explore how to: assess risks to media pluralism, evaluate the impact of online disinformation, and understand the broader implications of the digital transformation on societal structures. The programme will provide both theoretical insights and practical tools, equipping participants with the skills necessary to contribute to cutting-edge research and policy-making in these crucial areas. The call for applications for the upcoming training programme is open to all researchers in the early and mid stages of their careers.
Participants should have a background in social sciences, media studies, digital communication, political science, or related fields. Ideal candidates should have a strong interest in exploring advanced methodologies for the analysis of media pluralism, the impact of disinformation and AI, and their broader effects on digital society.
