Innovations and Social Media Analytics in a Digital Society

Our society currently faces unimagined challenges on a global scale, in view of the technological acceleration that leads us towards a new Industrial Revolution, referred to as the ‘4.0 revolution’. It is already here and the coming years will surprise us with technological and digital innovations that will be around us more and more, every moment of every day. Thus, we are increasingly led to think about institutions, enterprises and people without boundaries of either time or space. During the last decade, we were astounded at the implementation of innovative digital solutions in every sector of activity, ranging from public administration to defense, health, education, finance, industry, energy, transport and the academia itself.
