 abstract\n\nThe EU-funded GLOTECH project comprises a study of the role of 
 technology in processes of modernisation and globalisation using the 
 press\, big data and computational 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 modernisation and globalisation. The 
 analysis will focus on the press in European countries\, the United 
 Kingdom\, and the United States. The methodology will include different 
 computational research methods\, contributing to significant advances in 
 digital humanities and computational social sciences. \n\nThis project has 
 received funding from the European Union’s Horizon 2020 research and 
 innovation programme under the Marie Sklodowska-Curie (MSC) grant agreement 
 No 101024996.\n\nSpeaker biography\n\nElena Fernández is a Marie Curie 
 Post-Doctoral researcher based at the Department of Computational 
 Linguistics\, University of Zurich\, and the Principal Investigator of 
 GLOTECH. From 2019-2021\, she was a Eurotech Post-Doctoral Fellow\, and the 
 Principal Investigator of PRESSTECH. She completed a PhD in Hispanic
