The Societal Analytics Lab aims to be the first point of contact for those interested in applying computational techniques in their research on societal issues. We are part of @vuamsterdam.bsky.social. Webpage: https://societal-analytics.nl/
Are you looking for more than just a line on your resume?
At the Societal Analytics Lab, we’re looking for ambitious, curious, and driven students/recent grads to join our Internship Program!
📍 Location: Vrije Universiteit Amsterdam
🔗 All information here: societal-analytics.nl/services/int...
A great example of how collaboration across countries supports shared standards for multilingual research on opinionated texts.
More to come — stay tuned! 🚀
What we worked on:
• Reproducible server setup & documentation (societal-analytics.nl/blogs/202602...).
• Open science workflows.
• Interoperability with MEDem’s Text-as-Data model.
• Drafting a handbook chapter + joint article.
Together, we deployed a new instance of AmCAT (amcat4.labs.vu.nl) for the @medem.bsky.social project in Vienna — strengthening infrastructure for open & reproducible computational content analysis.
We were happy to have @janabernhard.bsky.social visit us as part of a Short-Term Scientific Mission (STSM) within COST Action OPINION! 🧵👇
Next March 10th, we will be hosting the Film Club, a montly event to watch research-related movies and discuss them with pizza and drinks 😉 🍕 This time, we will be watching "The Thinking Game".
📍 Who can join? VU Amsterdam researchers.

See you there!
Come and learn what the Lab achieved during 2025. But hey, a celebration is not complete without some fun activities! So, we will also screen the movie “Coded Bias” and finalize the event with drinks.
When: February 10th between 15:00 and 18:00 hrs.

The Societal Analytics Lab aims to expand VU research infrastructure and foster methodological innovation.
For this, we set up our own server with different AI products, such as LLMs.
Ollama is our most resent product, reach out to us if you want to try it out!
