Strategic Conversations is PRESPA Institute's publication series exploring the ideas, debates and strategic choices shaping the future of European integration, democratic governance and resilience. Bringing together research, policy analysis and forward-looking reflection, each issue examines emerging challenges, encourages informed dialogue and offers new perspectives on the evolving European project. Through thoughtful conversations rather than definitive answers, the series seeks to contribute to a deeper understanding of the strategic questions facing Europe and its neighbourhood.
The analysis includes 519,354 tweets from 11,721 unique users. The number of users increases from the initial number since we also took their retweets, quotes and post replies. The tweets were first subjected to a basic cleaning of the text (removing links, emoticons, hashtags, etc.), and then through the use of machine learning and natural language processing, we looked for the hidden (latent) topic of each post.
