Under the general subject of “Ethics in Computational Social Sciences”, it aimed at started important discussions about the risks, trade-offs and possible limits that should be in place when using “Big Data” to study humans. This workshop also offered the SPAC team an opportunity to meet like-minded colleagues, start collaborations and visit the CSH- Vienna where Joana Gonçalves de Sá is spending a sabbatical period as part of the Hub’s Visitor Program.
