Public values for digital technologies
Most Dutch citizens are positive about digital technologies, but are also concerned, especially about their security and privacy. At the same time, they don't think they can influence the development of standards for digital technologies, regardless of how self-reliant they are. These are some of the conclusions from the research paper below, authored by the University of Amsterdam in cooperation with I&O Research.
The research paper was written in the context of the research project IN-SIGHT (2020-2024), funded by NWO, which focuses on the role of public values in (the development of) digital technologies. -

Amsterdam Center for Language and Communication (UvA)
Within the University of Amsterdam, the Amsterdam Center for Language and Communication (ACLC) represents the thriving linguistics community, which has ranked highest in continental Europe on the QS World University Rankings by Subject for years (15th worldwide in 2019).
It is characterized by its broad scope: Linguists from various theoretical approaches, including Functional Discourse Grammar, Generative Grammar, Neural Networks, and Optimality Theory fruitfully collaborate in research and teaching. These theoretical perspectives are applied to different modalities of language (speech, signing, writing), variation in time (diachrony), variation in space (dialectal variation and language contact), first and second language acquisition, multilingualism, language creation (i.e., the study of Creole languages), language loss (pathology/disorders), and communication. Language is thus explored in the broadest possible sense, to uncover the underlying principles and mechanisms of our language system and the use of this system in communication.
