Advancing the study of digital diplomacy through computational methods<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

SPELL examines how small European states use digital diplomacy across social media and online platforms.
It brings together Political Science, International Relations, and Computer Science to generate new
methodological and empirical insights for the Digital Social Sciences in Greece and beyond.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Mission<\/h2>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

\nDigital diplomacy is transforming how states communicate with each other and with global audiences.\nFor small states, digital tools create new opportunities to project influence, engage stakeholders,\nand promote strategic priorities in cost-effective ways. By leveraging social media, digital platforms,\nand computational analysis, small states can craft narratives, respond rapidly to global events,\nand participate more effectively in international diplomacy.\nSPELL investigates these dynamics to understand how innovative digital strategies\nstrengthen the presence and impact of small European states on the world stage.<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n
