Local politics monitoring with Komm-X. Webinar on 18 November 2025, 2 p.m.

November 3, 2025

For several years now, Pollux has been offering political scientists in Germany free access to the Polit-X political monitoring and analysis database. Now there is a new database: Komm-X. Komm-X operates at the municipal level. This tool can be used to monitor publications by municipalities, counties and independent cities.

On 18 November 2025 at 2 p.m., we are offering a webinar to introduce Komm-X and explore how the database can be a useful tool in political science research. There will be plenty of time for questions and comments at the end of the webinar.
