These proceedings represent the work of contributors to the 7th European Conference on Social Media (ECSM

2020), supported by UCLan Cyprus, Larnaca on 2-3 July 2020. The Conference Chair is Dr Christos Karpasitis and

the Programme Chair is Mrs Christiana Varda, from the University of Central Lancashire - Cyprus (UCLan Cyprus).

ECSM is a relatively new, but well-established event on the academic research calendar. Now, in its 7th year, the

key aim remains the opportunity for participants to share ideas and meet. The conference was due to be held

at UCLan Cyprus, but unfortunately, due to the global Covid-19 pandemic it was moved online to be held as a

virtual event. The scope of papers will ensure an interesting conference. The subjects covered illustrate the

wide range of topics that fall into this important and ever-growing area of research.
