European Union, Disinformation, and Fake News Project
The Jean Monnet chair on “European Union, Disinformation and Fake News,” funded by the European Commission and running from 2019 to 2030, focuses on combating disinformation and fake news using journalism and science, emphasizing fact-checking and truth-seeking within the EU context
PREDCOV
The project examined how the COVID-19 pandemic, intensified by misinformation on social media, led to an WHO-declared infodemic. The "PredCov" project investigates the influence of media on public debate and perceptions of the pandemic, as part of a larger effort to model disease spread by incorporating diverse data and innovative analytics.
Ukraine-EU disinformation
This project (June-November 2023), funded by the European Media and Information Fund, aims to enhance EU and Ukrainian fact-checking skills by analyzing disinformation about the Ukraine war and Russian actions, using the StopFake database to bolster narrative understanding and media integrity
Misinformation, Disinformation and Hate Speech
This project, funded by the European Commission's ECHO, aims to combat misinformation, disinformation, and hate speech affecting refugees and migrants. Through research and analysis, MediaLab will develop strategies to mitigate these harmful effects on digital platforms, improving communication with displaced communities and enhancing protection efforts.
