About Us
The Digital Methods in Empirical Social Sciences Center (DiMES) is an initiative to enhance methodological training and research capabilities within the Department of Political and Social Sciences (PolSoz) at Freie Universität Berlin.
The Center brings together all four institutes that form the department to provide access to cutting edge and pluralistic methodological training and research across the social sciences. It was established at the end of 2024 to provide resources for teaching and research, and organize events and workshops focused on the development of social science methods applications and training.
