The objective of this 2-day event is to bring together experts in social

impact of social media on our society, and specifically how to measure
influence on social media. The workshop will provide researchers in this
area an opportunity to present and debate their ideas, and provide
graduate students with the opportunity to build academic and
professional contacts, present their research, and learn about the
latest research in this area from a multidisciplinary perspective.
SCHEDULE:
