The "Computational Methods Working Group" is a working group by young scholars of the Department of Communication and Media Research, the Department of Political Science, and the fög - Research Center for the Public Sphere and Societyat the University of Zurich.

The working group has two main goals: First, we want to foster the methodological education of social scientists in the field of computational social science. Second, we aim at bringing together scholars in the field to connect and collaborate.

We are organizing two events in 2020:
