Tackling online disinformation | A series of CONNECT University sessions

The recent technological transformation of the media ecosystem has a strong impact on the way citizen are informed and communicate. New technologies can be used to propagate large-scale and targeted disinformation with unprecedented speed and precision. The exposure of the society to large-scale disinformation represents a major worldwide challenge. In this vein, CONNECT University organises a series of sessions that would allow the participants to have a holistic overview of the digital media ecosystem with a focus on the importance of countering online disinformation. The programme will provide a unique opportunity to dive into an interactive learning environment during interactive sessions, complemented with hands-on workshops and exchange among participants. High-level experts will share their knowledge with the participants, while raising awareness about the complex and disruptive problem of disinformation.
