This MSCA lunchtime conversation session will focus on digital democracy and digital skills that citizens need to critically navigate the online public sphere. 

It will look into different aspects of democratic participation in the era of social media and online platforms exposed to fake news and dis/misinformation, and the role of artificial Intelligence in shaping the ways of consuming and creating content.

Like the first event, the second MSCA lunchtime conversation will bring together representatives of different Commission services and scientific leaders/coordinators of EU-funded projects to present their work on the topic and engage in an active discussion with each other and with the audience (individual researchers, project leaders, policy makers, practitioners, civil society representatives, interested citizens).

More information and the registration link is available in the announcement on the MSCA website.

EURHISFIRM - Long-term data for Europe

EURHISFIRM designs a world-class research infrastructure (RI) to connect, collect, collate, align, and share detailed, reliable, and standardized long-term financial, governance, and geographical data on European companies. EURHISFIRM enables researchers, policymakers, and other stakeholders to develop and evaluate effective strategies to promote investment, economic growth and job creation. The RI provides the tools for long-term analysis highlighting the dynamics of the past and the way those dynamics structure our present and future.

The EURHISFIRM European project received € 3.4 million in financing from the European Commission through the H2020-INFRADEV-2017-1 research infrastructures call. The project started with a consortium of eleven research organisations (including University of Antwerp) from seven European countries.
