When computers assess feelings
The internet is a platform for a great deal of emotional statements. Sentiments that may indicate a future crisis in an organisation or the like. At the seminar ”Computing Feelings”, a group of researchers presents their new results from working with so-called Sentiment Analysis; technology that automatically analyses opinions and feelings expressed in texts. The researchers are now developing this technology with a particular focus on the Danish language.

Care from volunteers vs. care from public employees
Is the care coming from a publicly employed care worker different from voluntary care? At the after-work seminar "Frivillighedens logik (the logic of voluntariness)", Anders La Cour, Associate Professor at the Department of Management, Politics and Philosophy, will give a different perspective on the logic behind voluntariness. La Cour will talk about how the unique care from volunteers can be organised by means of strategies, and how voluntariness and politics can be combined in new ways.
