We are a research institute specialized in collecting and analyzing social data. We develop advanced methodologies for processing online conversations in order to measure their dynamics, detect weak signals, and identify accelerations.
Opsci and Cluster 17 have joined forces to offer a unique opinion analysis service combining social data intelligence and clustered surveys. Our unique and proven methods allow for unprecedented acuity in flash or long-term studies.
The Great Nuclear Shift
January 2022
Studying the dynamics behind the gradual evolution of public opinion towards a consensus on nuclear as a green energy.
Challenges
- Analysing the dissemination of pro- and anti-nuclear narratives from a long-term perspective
- Characterising the sociological trajectories and the impact of pro- and anti- communities and leaders
Solutions
- Multiplatform (Twitter, Reddit, Youtube) and multilingual (French, English, German, Italian) data collection going back to 2010
- Analysing the dissemination of relevant narratives and communities through the creation of an original tool combining topic mining and network analysis
Results
- Description of the way an "alarmist" post-Fukushima vision of nuclear power gave way to new narratives on the role it could play in the climate crisis
- Analysis of its gradual shift in significance from a taboo topic to a token element of the political and even governmental discourse
- Detailed mapping of the anti- and pro- communities retracing their struggle for the final say in public perception of nuclear power
The study is not publicly available.
