Swedish e-Science Academy Satellite on Social Cybersecurity (October 13, 2026)
We are happy to announce our workshop on Social Cybersecurity, taking place on the October 13th in Uppsala.
The goal of the workshop is to have expert discussions about the systematic identification, prevention, and mitigation of harmful online phenomena. Topics of interest are, for example, the theoretical advancements and development of interdisciplinary approaches in the study of social cyberharms and the current limitations within the field.
The workshop is hosted as a satellite to the Swedish e-Science Academy: participants associated with any of the three eSSENCE partner universities (Umeå, Lund, and Uppsala) will get their accommodation covered through eSSENCE.
Invited speakers
- Henna Paakki (Department of Languages, University of Helsinki)
- Gianmarco De Francisci Morales (Intesa Sanpaolo Innovation Center, Turin)
- Hussam Habib (Interdisciplinary Digital Lab, University of Graz)
