 GLOTECH project comprises a study of the role of technology in processes o
 f modernisation and globalisation using the press\, big data and computati
 onal research methods. It will explore the role of technology as a factor 
 of time standardisations in Western industrialised societies as well as a 
 booster of cultural homogenisation\, and as a consequence\, an agent of mo
 dernisation and globalisation. The analysis will focus on the press in Eur
 opean countries\, the United Kingdom\, and the United States. The methodol
 ogy will include different computational research methods\, contributing t
 o significant advances in digital humanities and computational social scie
 nces. \n\nThis project has received funding from the European Union’s Ho
 rizon 2020 research and innovation programme under the Marie Sklodowska-Cu
 rie (MSC) grant agreement No 101024996.\n\nSpeaker biography\n\nElena Fern
 ández is a Marie Curie Post-Doctoral researcher based at the Department o
 f Computational Linguistics\, University of Zurich\, and the Principal Inv
 estigator of GLOTECH. From 2019-2021\, she was a Eurotech Post-Doctoral Fe
