MSCA lunchtime conversation - Digital democracy and citizenship: what skills in the era of fake news and disinformation?
Starts in 1 week from now
Locationonline
ProgrammesThis 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.

Testimonial
Autoship - a new and durable way of freight transport
Autoship is, as the name suggests, an acronym for autonomous ship. Just like with self-driving cars, the possibilities of an unmanned boat seem endless. It can create more efficient freight transport, around the clock deliveries and these are just a few of the examples. The project has two societal challenges.
At first, De Vlaamse Waterweg was a bit hesitant as their experience with FP7 or Horizon 2020 projects was limited and they had not been very successful up until then. The fact that they were already doing basic research on the topic of autonomous boats, and the administrative help of NCP FLanders helped De Vlaamse waterweg to cross the line and get involved.
