OPINION will establish the field of textual opinion research, a critical upgrade for the emerging field of computational communication science. For the first time bringing together researchers studying opinionated text across and beyond Europe, the Action aims to provide the much-needed conceptual grounding, methodological integration and training to significantly advance the use of computational methods for studying digital text. OPINION convenes early- and mid-career researchers from 30 European countries, Israel, Russia, and the US, integrating cutting-edge expertise from different disciplines (notably, communication science, computational linguistics, IT) while networking the many, hitherto largely disconnected language communities of textual researchers.

Four members of the MediaLab – Professor Nicoleta Corbu (Member of the Management Committee), Associate professor Elena-Negrea Busuioc, Senior lecturer Mădălina Boțan and Senior lecturer Raluca Buturoiu – are part of this COST action.
