Was happy to present my work in progress in such a stimulating and thought-provoking environment.
Group photo: The CCL team standing together outdoors with the mountains around Dienten an Hochkönig in Salzburg in the background, smiling at the camera.
Ski lift: A line of orange ski lift chairs stretching up a green slope surrounded by dense forest to get up the mountain.
Hiking trail: The CCL team hiking down a narrow trail across a sunlit mountain slope with autumn-colored vegetation.
Mountain view: A wide view of mountain peaks and ridges around Dienten am Hochkönig in Salzburg, with low-hanging clouds drifting between the valleys under a blue sky.
Every strong team needs time to pause, reset, and grow together. #TeamRetreat #DientenAmHochkönig
🔴 Russian forces conducted one of the biggest combined attacks on Ukraine during this month.

An outstanding keynote of historian @timothysnyder.bsky.social on the significance of the Ukrainian history for understanding global history and how it contextualizes the current Russia's invasion of Ukraine youtu.be/Xc64yG8TPzM?...
Our team members @fabiennelind.bsky.social & @moritzsedlatschek.bsky.social have presented their fantastic work at the CSS conference on „AI & Society - Exploring Inequality in the Digital Age“ in Mannheim. Very well done! 👏

An awesome panel to end #COMPTEXT2025 ! ✍️
How can we better capture marginalised voices through computational text analysis? An inspiring roundtable at #COMPTEXT2025 sparked important reflections. Huge thanks to @ahrabhikat.bsky.social, @krangelie.bsky.social, @indiiigo.bsky.social for guiding this vital conversation!
Loved the roundtable led by @ahrabhikat.bsky.social "Marginalised Voices and Perspectives in Computational Text Analysis" /w @krangelie.bsky.social & @indiiigo.bsky.social Everyone was taking notes! ✍️ #COMPTEXT2025

How the dynamics of media coverage change as a result of the interplay between issues and actors? @janabernhard.bsky.social shows in an excellent comp text analysis study on media bias in 🇦🇹 news before the 2024 Austrian elections. /w @ahrabhikat.bsky.social & @hajoboo.bsky.social #COMPTEXT2025

Today, russia heavily bombed Ukraine with an intense focus on Kyiv. 8 dead, 80 injured🕯 During the international discussions about a possible ceasefire, russia consistently shows its only true face — indiscriminate violence and terrorism.

Nightly air raid alerts in Kyiv
Feels like air raid alerts in Kyiv are nightly. I checked: since the year’s start, only 13 nights were free of alerts, and each lasts about 131 minutes on average. Let’s see how the ceasefire goes, but meanwhile, please donate to air defense, links in the next reply. #UaView #RStats
So, Trump is now openly condoning attacks on civilians and critical infrastructure—actions that are prohibited under international law, including the Geneva Conventions. Yet, some international media outlets still frame this as him 'putting pressure on Putin.' Call me disillusioned.
Want to learn about computational social science *for free* and launch interdisciplinary research projects? We are so excited to announce there will be *26* Summer Institutes in Computational Social Science this year! Apply to one of them here: sicss.io/locations
Huge congratulations, Tobias! Best of luck with the new exciting chapter, and thank you for your time and great efforts at Uni Wien :) 💚 See you around Europe!
📢 New publication!
Information, Communication & Society just published our study “Mainstreaming and transnationalization of anti-gender ideas through social media: the case of CitizenGO” w/ @nicolarighetti.bsky.social Bruna Paroni, Zsófia Cseri, Sofia Iriarte, & @maikovska.bsky.social ✨
The 75th Annual Conference of the International Communication Association (#ICA25), set for 12-16 June in Denver Colorado, USA, is shaping up to be ICA’s largest conference yet, tracking with Toronto and Paris in terms of preregistration numbers. At the same time, we are closely monitoring the evolving situation in the United States which has raised concerns for some members of the ICA community intending to participate. We recognize your concerns regarding the uncertain environment and appreciate your feedback and perspectives. We affirm ICA’s dedication to a global exchange of knowledge and perspectives and protecting the free exchange of ideas among our members and attendees. Current rhetoric and actions in some US communities run counter to ICA’s commitment to ensuring the full and equal participation of all members of our global academic community and conflict directly with ICA's IDEA principles.
Our immediate plan includes the following interventions, which aim to preserve your right as scholars to freely present your work and collaborate with your peers: As always, we have made standard invitation letters for visa purposes available via the submission website: you can find your letter attached to your profile in ScholarOne (the submission system). As of 19 February, we have done a new run of all letters without the title of the paper(s) mentioned; papers are identified by submission ID number so that your research topics are not mentioned. You may find these new letters in your profile as well.
The fact that this communication is now necessary ... for conferences happening in the *US* ... shocking.
Only 23 days more to submit your abstract to the network’s conference Sunbelt 2025 sunbelt2025.org
With @mirandalubbers.bsky.social and Nuria Targarona, we welcome abstracts for the Mixed Methods for Social Network Analysis session!!! 🌟Join us in Paris, June 23-29.
Congratulations, Cristina! 🎉🌞
The far-right FPÖ supposedly wants to restrict ENG in academic research & make GER the sole research language in AT. Nothing says commitment to excellence like isolating Austrian science from the global community. Tell me you don’t care about scientific progress w/o telling me… 🫣 #ScienceSkepticism
