Our team has grown considerably over the past year, and everyday business often leaves little time to genuinely connect and exchange ideas. ➡️ Between 𝗰𝗼𝗼𝗸𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝘁𝗼𝗴𝗲𝘁𝗵𝗲𝗿 🍽️, exploring our 𝗳𝗮𝗿𝗺 𝗮𝗰𝗰𝗼𝗺𝗼𝗱𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻 🌽 and 𝘀𝘄𝗶𝗺𝗺𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗶𝗻 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗔𝗮𝗿𝗲 🥽, there was plenty of time to discuss the three large projects that are currently conducted within our institute: ✴️ Silke Adam, Ani Baghumyan, Andrea Barbieri, Charlotte Herentrey and Roman Winkelhahn have just closed their first survey on the interplay of social identity, marginalization and media use. Their aim is to set a new research agenda that bridges theory and empiricism on this timely topic. ✴️ Franziska Barbara Keller, Ivan Formichev and Qian'ge LIU presented the latest insights into their research on expert networks in China, Russia and beyond. Their project takes on a broader scope that combines political, economic and media-related insights. ✴️ Mykola Makhortykh, Vihang Jumle, Maryna Sydorova and Victoria Vziatysheva discussed several studies they are currently conducting on the role of algorithms and artificial intelligence in the search of political and historical information, particularly information related to the Holocaust. ☀️💐 𝗧𝗵𝗮𝗻𝗸𝘀 𝘁𝗼 𝗲𝘃𝗲𝗿𝘆𝗼𝗻𝗲 𝘄𝗵𝗼 𝗵𝗮𝘀 𝗺𝗮𝗱𝗲 𝘁𝗵𝗲𝘀𝗲 𝗰𝗼𝘂𝗽𝗹𝗲 𝗼𝗳 𝗱𝗮𝘆𝘀 𝘀𝗼 𝘃𝗲𝗿𝘆 𝘀𝗽𝗲𝗰𝗶𝗮𝗹, 𝗶𝗻𝗰𝗹𝘂𝗱𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗼𝘂𝗿 𝘀𝘁𝘂𝗱𝗲𝗻𝘁 𝗮𝘀𝘀𝗶𝘀𝘁𝗮𝗻𝘁𝘀 Leonard Fritschi 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝗖𝗮𝘁𝗷𝗮 𝗞ä𝘀𝗲𝗿!
