The four projects selected under this Call for Proposals will receive a total of € 1,582,071.33.

In the research area, these projects aim to develop open-source software and frameworks to understand how disinformation spreads across various platforms, the development of structural indicators on measuring disinformation, and to promote a transparent information ecosystem.
