During the Congress we will try to answer the question: How to analyze, professionally verify and communicate disinformation to different audiences? Thematic panels will bring together leading European and Ukrainian researchers, fact-checkers, journalists and experts in the field. Additionally, we will address the challenges faced by journalists and fact-checkers in a rapidly evolving media landscape and highlight the importance of media literacy in empowering citizens to discern truth from falsehood. We will go into the
intricacies of disinformation campaigns, examining their methods, motives, and effects on public opinion. We will explore the role of social media platforms, artificial intelligence, and emerging technologies in amplifying and countering disinformation.

By the end of this congress, we envision a strengthened network of professionals dedicated to combating disinformation, equipped with new knowledge, tools, and strategies to foster accurate and reliable information dissemination. Together, we can build a more resilient media ecosystem that upholds the principles of transparency, accountability, and democratic values.

We look forward to your active participation and the collective impact we can  make in this critical endeavor.
