Social media in politics

The Luxembourg Centre for Contemporary and Digital History (C²DH) and the University of Luxembourg Alumni Network are pleased to invite you to the round table “Social media in politics”. 

Politicians, communication professionals and scientists will discuss the use and impact of online social media in politics. What are the advantages and also the risks for politicians in using social media? What are the best practices, especially when it comes to choosing communication platforms and identifying a target audience? How are discussions and feedback monitored, and how are the impact and success of online communication evaluated and measured?

The event will address these questions, offering an opportunity to explore different perspectives and share experience and expertise on a topic that has become central to democracy and citizenship.
