ERIHAD.OS addresses a key dilemma: Open Science (OS) promotes data sharing for impactful research, but applying it to hate speech can raise ethical and legal issues due to restrictions on disseminating such material. To resolve this, ERIHAD.OS is developing a federated research infrastructure that enables safe and ethical searches and analyses across various repositories in Europe, facilitating interdisciplinary research to inform policy, education, and deradicalization efforts. The project aims to empower researchers, activists, and policymakers to study and counter hate, contributing knowledge that strengthens social cohesion.

Description
The team from the Institute of Creativity and Educational Innovations (IUCIE) is leading the co-creation component for use cases and requirements, organizing workshops and forums with NGOs and stakeholders to design and validate use cases and thus contribute to the creation of the research framework. This function will ensure that the prototype meets real-world usage needs and that the tiered access mechanisms are acceptable to those who hold legally restricted data.
