Supported by the Hellenic Foundation for Research and Innovation (H.F.R.I.), the DataPopEU project develops novel methods and techniques to collect, process (clean) and analyze internet and big volume data to systematically investigate the significant political patterns of populism and Euroscepticism in the Greek context. Our research team works together to produce high quality data referring to populist and Euroscepticist issues as they are expressed by Greek political parties, politicians and voters, relying on web surveys and social media. Moreover, DataPopEU project intends to maximize the quality of information contained in our data by combining the different datasets and develop a compass for populism and Euroscepticism (PopEUCompass) which will help citizens find their proximity to populist and Eurosceptic political parties.
