The CODE (Coupling Opinion Dynamics with Epidemics) project focuses on studying the relationship between opinion dynamics, influenced by the dissemination of information and online debate, and the management of epidemics. On the one hand, it aims to shed light on the role of social media in the success of containment policies; on the other, the goal is understanding whether extreme and unexpected events, which are followed by government actions dictated by emergency, can lead to polarization of public debate and political radicalization. Inevitably, such research activity also requires investigating the nature of online and physical interactions, and the impact of any similarities and divergences between these two systems.
