EDMO BELUX 2.0 is pleased to announce a call for contributions to its final conference. Based in Belgium and Luxembourg, we take the opportunity to reflect how our efforts across fact-checking, media literacy, research investigations to monitor and respond to disinformation raise resilience in democratic societies. In particular we seek to contribute policy evidence of societal threats and responses to disinformation.   We welcome proposals for standalone papers and studies, themed panels, and hands-on workshops, along the lines of our EDMO pillars on fact-checking, media literacy, and research investigations. Contributions that speak to the Belgian and Luxembourgish contexts, as well as EU policy implementation, are especially welcomed.   This conference welcomes fact-checkers, media professionals, media literacy practitioners, educators, disinformation analysts and researchers, policy makers and other stakeholders involved in the mitigation of disinformation, especially in Luxembourg and Belgium. The main sessions of the conference will take place in English, while parallel sessions can be organised in French or English. Please do not hesitate to apply!
