Computational Social Science offers tools that can assist both policymakers and the private sector in the design and implementation of measures to address the economic and social challenges posed by Covid-19. How can the growing sources of (alternative) data and data science be used in a meaningful and responsible way to providing reliable and practical knowledge without compromising privacy and safety of people whose data is collected and analysed? What are the methodological and regulatory solutions that could be applied to address the challenges and mitigate the risks? Our panellists will share their experience and ideas on these issues. There will also be time for questions from the audience.
