When: 1st October 3:30-5:30pm
The NIAA funds 10-15 research positions which undertake projects leading to a proposal or published paper in one year. These projects aim to give valuable and paid research experience for master students. They are always multidisciplinary, often tying together social science/humanities and computer science, in line with the NI’s vision.
This year’s 6 selected projects will involve:
- Computationally Supported Metaphor Analysis
- Depression Detection from Multimodal Neuroimaging Data: Towards Explainability and Generalization
- Designing and testing peak spreading interventions – using the VU as a living lab
- Mapping missionaries in the Dutch colonial empire 1600-1960
- Visualizing the Future: The Role of Virtual Reality in Promoting Environmental Sustainability
- When news resonates: how societal issues permeate people’s lifeworld
