We’re wrapping up the day with our final presentation, a keynote by @mercecrosas.bsky.social! 🤖✨ Merce dives into what it takes to build AI readiness in the computational social sciences and humanities. #ODISSEI2025

I'm super happy to receive the very first Open Science Award of Oddisei for the work on CPF Open Harmonization www.cpfdata.com!

Time for the ODISSEI Open Science Awards 2025! 🏆 @angelicamaineri.bsky.social and former ODISSEI scientific director @pdykstra.bsky.social are taking the stage — congratulations to @kturek.bsky.social and the team for winning the competition with their Comparative Panel File project! 🎉

Exciting day? For sure but we’re not done yet! Our scientific director @daob.nl is kicking off the closing keynote and awards session 🪩 #ODISSEI2025

We welcome our first keynote of the day 👏🏻 @melindacmills.bsky.social is taking over the stage and talking about opportunities and challenges of new data frontiers

@drtomemery.bsky.social kicks off the day by sharing the news about the new funded project – the Macroscope! #ODISSEI2025

Today at @odissei.bsky.social conference in Utrecht. Hoping to find good vocabularies to recommend to @tudelftlibrary.bsky.social and @unileiden.bsky.social researchers. Found already also extremely interesting studies on all areas of social sciences.

Are you at the @odissei.bsky.social Conference today? The Portal team released an update, improving centralized search for social science datasets available in various repositories in the Netherlands. The Portal will be showcased at conference, by Ricarda Braukmann of DANS a.o. Come say hi!

This year we’re introducing a new format to the conference – interactive workshops session. @odissei-soda.bsky.social team leads the workshop on annotation using LLM🤓 There will be a follow up event in January, keep an eye on our website!

@odissei.bsky.social "FAIR Vocabularies are really needed in social science research", data managers and researchers agree on this, and @angelicamaineri.bsky.social presented practical work in SSHOC-nl on this direction.

Partners include SURF, @cbsstatistiek.bsky.social, @esciencecenter.bsky.social, @dans-knaw-nwo.bsky.social, @kb.nl, Beeld en Geluid, Centerdata, @meertens-knaw.bsky.social, @iisg-amsterdam.bsky.social, @knaw-nl.bsky.social Humanities Cluster, and many Dutch universities.

🔬 Microscopes revealed cells. 🔭 The Macroscope will reveal societies—how misinformation spreads, how trust evolves, how culture shifts. By 2030, researchers will access secure data vaults, unified archives, transparent AI tools—and new ways to study social change while protecting privacy.

The world’s first Macroscope is coming to the Netherlands 🇳🇱 NWO just awarded €16.8M to build this groundbreaking research infrastructure—co-led by @odissei-soda.bsky.social and CLARIAH, coordinated by @erasmusuniversity.bsky.social #Research #Innovation odissei-data.nl/2025/11/03/t...

For that, we set up consultations and collaborations, organize workshops, write tutorials, and arrange a fellowship program. ✨ If you are a researcher in need of help, or simply want to discuss, we are here for you! Follow us for more updates, and check out our website at odissei-soda.nl ⭐
