To mark its first year of activities, the European Digital Media Observatory will hold its first annual conference, EDMO Week: United Against Disinformation, on 7-11 June bringing together stakeholders working to tackle online disinformation, including researchers, regulatory authorities, online platforms, civil society, and the policy sector.

 

EDMO Week will take place every afternoon between 7-11 June focusing on key topics ranging from the need for a multistakeholder approach in tackling online disinformation to fact-checking in the context of a global pandemic, and from the role of research and policy to media literacy and other local initiatives.

 

There will be opportunities for informal side events in the mornings, as well as for networking activities.
