We’re proud to announce that the ATLASS project at the University of Gothenburg has been granted VR infrastructure funding through SwedPop! 🎉
Led by Professors Mikael Lindahl, Christian Møller Dahl, Martin Karlsson, and Associate Professor Gustav Kjellsson, ATLASS brings together expertise in economics, history, and data science to build a new research infrastructure for Swedish archival data.
ATLASS will enable high-quality research and benefit several research areas such as inequality within the school system, female labour force and socioeconomic status during a formative period in Swedish history.
Through SwedPop, ATLASS becomes part of a national infrastructure of strategic importance, which brings together several major databases covering nearly three centuries of Swedish population history.
