MSCA lunchtime conversation - Digital democracy and citizenship – what skills in the era of fake news and disinformation?

This event will focus on digital democracy and digital skills that citizens need to critically navigate the online public sphere. 

It will look into different aspects of democratic participation in the era of social media and online platforms exposed to fake news and dis/misinformation, and the role of artificial Intelligence in shaping the ways of consuming and creating content.

Like the first event, the second MSCA lunchtime conversation will bring together representatives of different Commission services and scientific leaders/coordinators of EU-funded projects to present their work on the topic and engage in an active discussion with each other and with the audience (individual researchers, project leaders, policy makers, practitioners, civil society representatives, interested citizens).

More information about the event will be available in early January 2025 on this page.
