Благодарение на огромната популярност на Фейсбук, Туитър или Гугъл + и тяхното нарастващо влияние през последното десетилетит понятието "социална мрежа" постепенно се ограничава преди всичко до неговата IT конотация. Имайки предвид това развитие на употребата му, конференцията има за цел да обсъди някои от историческите измерения на "социалните мрежи", създаването и поддържането им в широките граници на Югоизточна Европа в продължение на един очевидно дълъг период, а именно от XV до XIX век.
Пълното описание на темата може да видите в английската версия на новината!
Официалният език на конференцията е английски.
