EU DisinfoLab is a young NGO focused on researching and tackling sophisticated disinformation campaigns targeting the EU, its member states, core institutions and core values. We develop and maintain the main independent European platform on disinformation, which assembles the community of experts fighting disinformation and provides them with needed tools and resources to encourage collaboration. Continuously monitoring disinformation activities across the major platforms (digital and traditional), we identify trends and threats, alert civil society and researchers to these. Based on our own analyses, we regularly propose policy recommendations to the EU institutions and to member states, and help other initiatives ensure that their advocacy efforts are grounded in sound analyses. Moreover, we organize regular seminars, forums, meetings and other events to share experiences and tools, plan joint ventures and keep abreast of critical developments in the field.
