🎥 How can we better understand democratic backsliding? Our latest TWIN4DEM video on Work Package 2 (WP2) dives into exactly that through an interview with Stefano Camatarri from Université catholique de Lille. www.youtube.com/watch?v=F3mF... #TWIN4DEM #Democracy #PoliticalScience #HorizonEurope

In March, the TWIN4DEM project continued its participatory work through a new round of online focus groups in Hungary, Czechia, France and the Netherlands. More information here: twin4dem.eu/co-creating-...

How do you communicate complex research across different communities and ensure that project results remain useful beyond the project’s lifetime? Watch the interview here: www.youtube.com/watch?v=wUnL... #TWIN4DEM #HorizonEurope #DemocraticResilience #Dissemination #StakeholderEngagement

Our second blog post highlights the work of WP3, which is laying the foundations for a robust computational pipeline to identify signals of executive aggrandisement and the political reactions it generates. 📖 Read the full blog post: twin4dem.eu/blog-post-2-... #TWIN4DEM #PoliticalScience #NLP

🗣️ What are Multilingual NLP tools? Think universal translator: AI that understands and processes text in many languages. 💬🤖 From spotting hate speech 🌍📢 to breaking language barriers, they shape how we connect online. 💡 What’s a multilingual tool you use daily? #DigitalTwin #NLP #TWIN4DEM #Glossary

What’s a Digital Twin? Think: a smart, virtual copy of something real—like a building or bridge—that mirrors and predicts how it behaves in the real world. 📍Example: Amsterdam’s 3D-printed steel bridge has a digital twin that tracks stress + wear in real time! #TWIN4DEM #DigitalTwin #Glossary

TWIN4DEM Glossary! 🧠 Computational Social Science (CSS):Think of society under a microscope 🎮—CSS uses big data, AI & simulations to study how we behave at scale. 🔹 Example: Predicting elections 🗳️, tracking misinformation 📢, modeling protests. #TWIN4DEM #CSS #BigData #AI

TWIN4DEM Glossary Series Begins! 👑 In Monopoly, one player (“The Executive”) changes the rules to win. That’s how leaders gradually expand power, weakening democratic checks. 🔹 Example: Turkey’s 2017 reforms gave the president more power while weakening oversight. #Democracy #PowerDynamics #TWIN4DEM
