Terrorism and Social Media, an international conference in Swansea, 27th and 28th June 2017

The CESICE is a partner of the conference on "Terrorism and Social Media", organised by the University of  Swansea (UK). TASM conference aims to bring together a wide range of researchers, policy-makers and practitioners, from a number of different countries and disciplinary backgrounds. The first day of the conference focused on the use of social media by terrorists. The main objective is to gain a deeper, empirically-grounded understanding of terrorist groups and lone actor terrorists. Day two focuses on questions of response, including comparisons between different forms of response and different jurisdictions and cultures, and considering what criteria should be employed as evaluative standards.
