[ecrea] 3rd European Conference on Social Media ECSM 2016

This is the Extended call for papers for the 3rd European Conference on 
Social Media ECSM 2016 being hosted by EM Normandie, Caen, France on the 
12-13 July 2016.
This call will close on the 16th December 2015.
There is no doubt, social media have and will have a huge impact on our 
societies ...With social media,  a stranger can become a friend or a 
cyberbully in one click; a nobody can become a star ... even what we 
think true might just be the last buzz. No sphere of our life 
(education, government, businesses...) is spared. Connected yes ... but 
connected to what, to whom, for what and what might happen if you are 
not connected
Social media is being adopted and applied in almost every area of human 
activity, be it for personal applications, in education, for commercial 
applications or in the public sector. The rapid uptake of social media 
is related to many factors including its ease of use and adaptability to 
different devices.
In addition to the main conference topics, the advisory group invites 
submissions to the following mini tracks:
*	Social media and innovation
*	Drivers and Barriers of Social Media for Improved Organisational 
performance
*	Role of Social Media in Blended Learning
*	Empowering Women Through Social Media
