Dear colleagues,

We are pleased to announce the third edition of the summer school on Social Connections and Well-Being in the Digital Era, which will take place in Lake Como, Italy, from August 25 to 29, 2025.

The summer school will bring together academics from social psychology and related disciplines to explore the impact of digital technologies on human social relationships. The program will cover key topics such as technology-mediated social connections and isolation, anthropomorphism of digital agents, and interventions for digital well-being.
