SoBigData is a European research infrastructure on Big Data Analytics and Social Mining aimed at performing advanced research on the emerging challenges in big data and AI.

SoBigData aggregates multi-disciplinary competencies and computational resources necessary for conducting privacy-aware research experiments, social mining, and visual analytics on big data with a unique eye for ethics and privacy issues.

Research topics are organized in thematic environments, called Research Spaces:


- Demography, Economy and Finance 2.0
- Disaster Response and Recovery
- Health Studies
- Pervasive Intelligence in Cyber-Physical Systems for Future Society
- Social Impact of AI and explainable ML
- Societal Debates and Misinformation

The various social dimensions investigated are needed to understand and predict complex social phenomena: new data analysis techniques permit us to increase our knowledge of individual social profiles and collective behaviors, better understand the spreading and epidemics over multi-dimensional networks, perform sentiment analysis and opinion evolution, and extract mobility patterns and models.

SoBigData Research Infrastructure participates in research projects on big data analytics, both at the European and National level, supports public bodies in data analysis and related privacy-preserving issues, and offers private companies privacy-aware services for analyzing, forecasting, and simulating complex socio-economical phenomena.

Above all, SoBigData works to create an ecosystem of people and resources and shares an ethical data culture in society according to fairness and social inclusion principles.

SoBigData receives funding from the European Union's Horizon 2020 research and innovation program under grant agreements No. 654024 and 871042 and NextGenerationEU - PNRR under Prot. IR0000013 program. The views and opinions expressed in this website are the author's sole responsibility and do not necessarily reflect the views of the EU.
