Web Science Trust Governance Lab

The Web Science Trust is a not-for-profit group representing 20 of the leading universities and research groups and headed by international thought leaders in Web Science and Socio-technical systems. The Network of Web Science Labs (WSTNet) operate internationally in both the University and Commercial space to generate world-class research and insights into the impact the Web has on modern society. 

The WSTNet GOV Lab at the Technical University of Munich (TUM) represents a uniquely interdisciplinary team of leading scholars in computational social science, law, digital governance, philosophy, political economy, and data science. Our research collectively addresses themes such as online behavior, negative online dynamics, misinformation, platform regulation, civic engagement, and the societal impact of AI. With a strong institutional base of 100 researchers, the GOV Lab is well-positioned to contribute innovative, policy-relevant, and methodologically diverse insights to the global Web Science community.
