As the project wraps up after three impactful years, we celebrate the people who made it happen — experts and partners who turned shared goals into real results.

Together with our partners, we’ve helped strengthen Europe’s defense against online #disinformation — developing new tools, sharing insights at top events, and building partnerships that will last beyond the project.

A heartfelt thank you to all our partners for an inspiring journey of collaboration, innovation, and dedication to strengthening Europe’s #resilience against online #disinformation. 💡
Stay tuned — more to come soon!

C4: Consequences in the #C5InteractionModel (part of the #VIGILANTProject) looks at the real-world impact of disinformation—how it escalates from belief change to polarisation, radicalisation, and even violence.

💡📘 The new #VIGILANTProject white paper Access to Data for Researchers: A Look Over the Horizon highlights these challenges and suggests how Europe can make data access more open, fair, and secure for public-interest research.

🧭 Spanning four half-day sessions, the training included a hands-on walkthrough of the VIGILANT dashboard, where participants explored real-time tools and completed guided tasks to strengthen their operational skills.

🖼️ From clickbait headlines to deepfakes, bots to influencers—disinfo is crafted to provoke emotion, mimic truth, and spread fast.
Tactics include viral visuals, gendered attacks & emotional storytelling designed to polarise and persuade.

👤 From lone trolls to state-sponsored networks, creators can be individuals, bots, or organisations.
💰🎭 Their motives? Political gain, financial profit, ideological influence—or even personal revenge.
