About CALDISS
About CALDISS
The main purpose of the laboratory is to help everyone associated with the Faculty of Social Sciences and Humanities at AAU realise the potentials offered by developments in digital social sciences, and to ensure that these potentials are made use of in research and teaching at the faculty and communicated to relevant actors in the local community.
Our hope is to become a facility and a service from which everyone associated with the Faculty of Social Sciences and Humanities at AAU can benefit.
Our philosophy at CALDISS
CALDISS' activities must be interdisciplinary and, to the extent possible, benefit everyone associated with the Faculty of Social Sciences and Humanities at AAU. This means that you are always welcome to contact CALDISS with suggestions and comments.
- Interdisciplinary knowledge development: CALDISS wishes to promote and facilitate the use of digital data and digital methods and to encourage interdisciplinary discussions about the opportunities and challenges (practical as well as ethical) that arise in connection with the digitisation of the humanities and the social sciences.
- Open-source and knowledge sharing: CALDISS encourages knowledge sharing and collaboration across disciplinary fields inside and outside of AAU, and subscribes to the "open-source" philosophy that the tools, resources and solutions that CALDISS develops are made freely available.
- Experimental and responsible: CALDISS hopes to encourage enthusiasm for digital methods. Our aim is to be experimental, as we are curious about what digital methods can offer the humanities and social sciences, but our actions are responsible in the sense that we ensure ethical and responsible processing of data.
