The round table offers a platform for discussion on the
opportunities but also the challenges of big data in political
science. Technological changes allow us to collect huge amounts of
data from many different sources. Never before have we seen such a
detailed and extensive collection of data about people's behavior
as now, in the age of the Internet. Big data advocates see the
potential to raise new questions that we were unable to answer
before large-scale datasets became available. However, big data is
"no free lunch" and researchers face ethical questions around data
protection and intellectual property rights. Chairs: Dominik Duell
