A Call for Proposals from Kufstein University of Applied Sciences, Austria
########### info ###########
Dear Colleague,
We would like to participate in a call for proposals by Facebook on misinformation and polarization ( https://research.fb.com/programs/research-awards/proposals/foundational-integrity-research-2021-misinformation-and-polarization-request-for-proposals/ ).
We are especially interested in this given theme:
Cross-platform information ecosystem understanding: We welcome proposals that inspect information practices and flows across multiple communication technologies or mediums. In particular, individual, group, and community effects of information campaigns, inauthentic behavior, or coordinated activities across multiple communities, networks, channels, or platforms.
The call highlights the international comparative aspect and now we are looking for partners, particularly in the North Africa, and Central, South, and Southeast Asia.
We aim to research the given topic by drawing on traditional social science methods like interviews, surveys, ethnographic observation, content analyses, and survey/behavioral experiments, or innovative mixed methodological approaches that combine these methods. Results are disseminated at (virtual) conferences and up to two full paper publications.
Would you be interested to be mentioned as a collaboration partner? If we get the funding, we will send a part of the money to your university, of course. The deadline is pretty close (July 14th) but we would finish the abstract on Monday and submit it to Facebook.
Are you interested to be included as a partner? If Yes, please contact me at my Email address ( markus.holzweber@fh-kufstein.ac.at ) soon (latest Monday July 13).
Best regards,
Dr. Markus Holzweber (lead)
Dr. Andre Haller
