4th European Conference on Social Media (ECSM) 2017 Vilnius

The Euro­pean Con­fer­ence on Social Media (ECSM) was estab­lished 4 years ago. We are look­ing for­ward to wel­com­ing you to the 4^th Edi­tion at the Busi­ness and Media School of the Myko­las Romeris Uni­ver­sity (MRU), the largest uni­ver­sity of Social Sci­ences in Lithua­nia. The con­fer­ence will com­mence on July 3 – 4, 2017 in Vil­nius, Lithua­nia. Our uni­ver­sity is ranked among the TOP3 edu­ca­tional insti­tu­tions as hav­ing the fastest high speed Inter­net in the world so we can really take advan­tage of mod­ern social media and Web 2.0 tech­nol­ogy. The newly estab­lished MRU net­work of 19 sci­en­tific lab­o­ra­to­ries is car­ry­ing out inter­dis­ci­pli­nary research activ­i­ties in the field of dig­i­tal social innovation.

The con­fer­ence has attracted par­tic­i­pants from more than 40 coun­tries and been attended by a com­bi­na­tion of aca­d­e­mic schol­ars, pub­lic sec­tor work­ers, prac­ti­tion­ers and indi­vid­u­als who are engaged in var­i­ous aspects of the social media indus­try. A num­ber of jour­nals are select­ing papers from the con­fer­ence for fur­ther devel­op­ment and pub­li­ca­tion. At ECSM 2017 we will be launch­ing the 1^st Social Media in Prac­tice Excel­lence Awards. We are look­ing for­ward to an inter­est­ing com­pe­ti­tion in Vilnius.
