WZB Big Data Brown-Bag Seminar
Big Data is more than a buzzword, data tracking is becoming an essential feature of our day-to-day lives. Today, data mining techniques are used in every social sphere from public health to government relations, from scientific knowledge production to market exchange, from urban infrastructures to every-day mobility. Algorithms affect everyone of us in our private and professional lives. Because the application contexts of Big Data are multifold and ever increasing, there is a need to examine the current developments very carefully. A multidimensional and multidisciplinary approach is needed to study the societal implications of the data revolution. But Big Data research requires also sophisticated methodological expertise for data, data collection, analysis and visualization. The WZB Big Data Brown-Bag Seminar aims to bring social science researchers together who are working on Big Data or working with Big Data in different fields of research. Along with the WZB Big Data blog, the Brown-Bag Seminar should pool expertise and stimulate research collaborations on a topic that has the potential to transform society.
If you wish to present and discuss your research (in English or in German), please contact martina.franzen [at] wzb.eu (Martina Franzen). All presenters are encouraged to share their slides or article drafts to be further discussed in the WZB Big Data Blog.
