Program Disinformation & Democracy 2023 – The Battle for Hearts and Minds

The conference invites experts from the academic community, non-governmental organizations, private companies or the state sector and representatives of uniformed forces to meet and discuss specific ongoing challenges with an aim to share different perspectives and approaches for tackling societal issues.

The last year created a platform and provided a necessary impetus for deepening the connection between behavioural and social sciences and knowledge of information and modern technologies in the society-wide fight against disinformation. This year we are about to dive into the topics of how disinformation can undermine social cohesion as its resilience downgrades, what are the critical pillars of Ukraine’s strategic communication in times of war, in which way generative AI is going to redesign the fight against misinformation online or what are interdisciplinary challenges in the era of disinformation.
