Utrecht University’s Data School investigates how big data and AI affect citizenship and democracy, and how public management transforms. Our team of researchers and experts are working on cutting-edge projects that are shaping the future of fields such as social media research and digital ethics. In addition to merely understanding technological and social change, we develop applications for responding to challenges it constitutes. Our research produces applicable solutions such as educative formats for training and upskilling, and practical impact assessments and audits for implementing responsible data and AI practices. We are committed to producing impactful research that informs policy and practice.
