At Os & Data we are experts in the best and worst online communities.
We support and research these communities with a toolbox that contains big data analysis, DIY AI, surveys, netnography and software development among others.

We are an interdisciplinary team of data scientist, sociologists and rhetoricians with a mission to strengthen the digital democracy and create the best possible foundation for our digital life. We do this through documentation, dialogue, data and tools.

We are part of the ANTAL-alliance which, besides us, includes Analysis & Numbers Denmark and Analysis & Numbers Norway.

We are a non-profit organization, and are constituted as a democratic business association (F.M.B.A.).

.... digital volunteers manages the 9,000 Facebook groups we have mapped in connection with the study 'Denmark's digital volunteers'.
