School will bring together a group of international scholars for 
workshops and keynotes.

Topics covered will include:

-civic cultures and social networks,
-linking big and small data methods,

The School is committed to creating an inclusive space that welcomes 
students from underrepresented communities. At least one equity grant 
will be available to ensure the program is accessible to all who wish to 
participate. By adopting an integrative and multidisciplinary approach, 
the MeLCi Autumn School is well-positioned to provide students with a 
comprehensive understanding of research methodologies related to 
scientific writing and innovative approaches.
