Social media analysis is an important tool in current and future data-driven research in a variety of fields. Discussing its potential and limitations, as well as knowledge transfer of methods and ideas, is what this Summer School is about. 

The Summer School is primarily aimed at advanced PhD students, postdoctoral and early-career researchers with an interest and basic grounding in data science, machine learning, and/or statistics. It is also aimed at data science professionals working with social media data. 

Topics and presenters: 
* Static and dynamic mapping method for uncovering competitive positions: Bernd Skiera (Goethe U Frankfurt, D)
* The co-evolution of digital behavioral trace and survey data in social networks: Christoph Stadtfeld (ETH Zürich, CH)
* Social media metrics: definitions and applications: Zohreh Zahedi (U of Leiden, NL)
* Qualitative and quantitative data analytics in data science: Fionn Murtagh (U of Huddersfield, UK)
* Responsible social-media based collective intelligence: Eirini Ntoutsi (FU Berlin, D)

The Summer School is opened with a public event on Tuesday June 14th during which Prof Mireille Hildebrandt (Vrije Universiteit Brussel) will be delivering the Sabine Krolak-Schwerdt Lecture entitled "The Whisper Challenge – The Rule of Proxies". The public event will be followed by a welcome reception. 

The Summer School is planned as an in-person event. For EuADS members the fee for participating in the summer school is 250 EUR (100 EUR for PhD students; signed letter from PhD supervisor required). For non-members the fee is 300 EUR (250 EUR for PhD students) and includes a one-year EuADS membership.
