The European Union says to take disinformation’s potential harm to democracy seriously.

The research institute imec-SMIT-VUB specialises in policy, market, and user research in the domain of media, innovation and technology. Because we value sharing our research results with relevant stakeholders, policymakers and the public in general, we sent out a monthly Policy Brief related to either a topical issue or as part of SMIT’s latest finished or ongoing research.
