About us
Mission statement
In today’s rapidly advancing technological society, the digital realm has become an integral part of our daily lives, revolutionizing communication, learning, and access to information and culture on an unprecedented scale. The seamless integration of technology into both research processes and societal consumption patterns presents us with both theoretical and technical challenges. These challenges demand a holistic and integrative approach that combines computational methodologies with humanistic and social perspectives.
The mission of U-CHASS is to redefine how the social and human sciences tackle contemporary social challenges
We achieve this by harnessing advanced computational techniques and artificial intelligence. Our goal is to be a forward-thinking entity that responds to the pressing social issues posed by technology today. To realize this mission, U-CHASS is organized around three major research areas:
- Countering disinformation and addressing social polarization.
- Digital humanities and cultural metrics.
- Science of science.
