Members of the Centre for Social Informatics participated in the 10th ECREA European Communication Conference


Researchers from the Centre for Social Informatics at the Faculty of Social Sciences, University of Ljubljana, participated in the 10th ECREA European Communication Conference, which took place from September 24 to 27, 2024, in Ljubljana, Slovenia, at the Faculty of Social Sciences.

Members of the Centre also presented the results of their own research activities:

Dr Andraž Petrovčič presented a paper entitled “The implications of COVID-19 pandemic for use-by-proxy in digital inequalities among internet users in Slovenia”, which focused on the comparison of digital inequalities before and after the COVID-19 pandemic and the role of using the internet through a proxy-user in reducing these inequalities.

Dr Simona Hvalič Touzery, in her paper “Exploring technology-based ageism in healthcare: Nurses’ and nursing students’ perspectives on welfare technologies for older patients”, presented the findings of her research on the impact of ageism on nurses’ and nursing students’ perceptions of older people’s technological capabilities and the role of these perceptions in the implementation of welfare technologies in the care of older patients.

Dr Vesna Dolničar presented the study “Factors determining the behavioural intention of informal carers of older people to use telecare: An application and extension of the UTAUT model”, which examines the acceptance factors of telecare services and proposes the inclusion of users’ perceived psychosocial outcomes as a factor that can significantly influence the acceptance of such services.

Jošt Bartol’s presentation “Internet users’ willingness to share information in diverse online contexts and with different actors: An empirical test of the dual privacy calculus theory” addressed the question of how the influence of factors affecting the willingness to share personal information differs depending on the online context and the actors who can access this information.

The abstracts of the papers are available in the Book of Abstracts, available here.


The studies were conducted as part of research projects J5-2558 (The Implications of Proxy Internet Use for the Internet Skills of Older Adults), J5-4578 (Digital Transformation of Health and Social Care), J5-1785 (Factors Impacting Intention to use Smart Technology Enabled Care Services among Family Carers of Older People in the Context of Long-Distance Care), and V5-2275 (Digital Inequalities and Older Adults in Slovenia), the research program P5-0399 (Internet research), and as part of Jošt Bartol's Young Researcher fellowship, funded by the Slovenian Research Agency of the Republic of Slovenia.
