This event will focus on legislative implications and innovation opportunities for research following the introduction of the European Data Governance Act and Data Act. It will explore how these two acts will influence the secure sharing of sensitive data. The event addresses questions such as the definition of a data altruism organization, the possibility of enforcing data sharing among companies, and the necessary infrastructure for facilitating sensitive data exchange. This meeting will be held in Dutch.

Doing (survey) research and non-response (unfortunately) go hand in hand. When we talk about (actual) non-response, we are talking about people who can participate in research, but choose not to. During this day, we reflect on non-response. How big is the non-response problem? What causes non-response? And what can we do about it before, during and after data collection? This day will be held in Dutch.

The SICSS instructional program will involve lectures, group problem sets, and interactive work sessions. There will also be outside speakers who conduct computational social science research in a variety of settings, such as academia, industry, and government. Topics covered include text as data, website scraping, digital field experiments, machine learning, and ethics.
