The European Conference on Social Media (ECSM) is a well-established academic conference, held annually for over a decade, with a focus on advancing research and dialogue around social media. The primary aim of ECSM is to provide a platform for scholars, researchers, practitioners, and industry professionals to share and discuss their findings on the multifaceted impacts of social media. The conference emphasises the importance of understanding how social media influences various sectors, including society, education, business, and governance. The open access conference proceedings, published annually, provide valuable insights and are frequently cited by academics, policymakers, and industry professionals, underscoring the conference’s role in shaping the future of cyber warfare and security.
