CALL FOR ABSTRACTS

Third International Conference: Social Science and the Internet

On Friday, July 1, 2016 the Human-Technology-Interaction Group at Eindhoven University of Technology (NL) will host the third conference meeting on “Social Science and the Internet”. Following up on two earlier meetings of Internet researchers in Amsterdam and Utrecht, this third conference in Eindhoven aims to bring together sociologists, psychologists, communication scientists, computer- and data scientists, and other researchers who are interested in the study of human behavior and social interaction in online contexts. With this meeting we aim to further the development of an international community of researchers from various fields who study these Internet related topics. Aiming for an interdisciplinary mix of participants, the conference will provide ample opportunity for discussion in an informal atmosphere.
