The Centre for Computational Social Science and Humanities (CSSH) serves as a nexus for interdisciplinary research, blending the methodologies and tools of computing with the theories and inquiries of social science and humanities disciplines.

The motivation for computational social science and humanities research arises from the increasing complexity and scale of social phenomena, coupled with the growing availability of digital data and computational resources. CSSH aims to address a diverse range of problems in areas such as social media, digital platforms, health and social care, environment, and heritage and culture, thereby advancing knowledge, informing decision-making, and addressing pressing societal challenges.
