Next week, the 𝗘𝗨&𝗜 team gathers in Florence!   Beyond helping nearly a million users make informed choices in the 2024 #EPelections, the EU&I Voting Advice Application has generated valuable data for research into political dynamics, voter behaviour, polarisation, and more.   This workshop offers hands-on guidance for analysing VAA-generated data, focusing on both party-based and user-based insights. Participants will also explore innovative ways to integrate Voting Advice Applications into academic research, teaching, and media engagement.   Stay tuned for updates, photos, and insights from this '𝘳𝘦𝘶𝘯𝘪𝘰𝘯'! #EUandI #YourVisionOurScience #SmartEUvoting
