The Methods Hub is a community portal from @GESIS@sciences.social providing tools, tutorials and interactive environments for computational methods for social science research.
NFDI4DS supports the development of the Methods Hub to:
* learn how computational methods can be used in social science research
* discover state-of-the-art computational methods in a curated collection
* share and make visible computational methods
Many thanks to all participants who made our joint event such a success.
