Webinar ‘Open data, academia, and ethics: fact-checking and countering misinformation’

How do you check whether an online claim is trustworthy?

Join our data.europa academy webinar, ‘Open data, academia, and ethics: fact-checking and countering misinformation’, on Friday, 6 November, from 10:00 to 11:15 CET.

Elena Musi (University of Liverpool) will explore how biases shape our interpretation of information and introduce practical approaches and tools for recognising misleading claims. Florian Stoeckel (University of Exeter) will examine how people distinguish true from false information and how fact-checking websites and social media comments influence their perceptions.

Let’s start the conversation: What helps you decide whether information is reliable? Have you used open data or fact-checking tools to check a claim?

Share your questions before the webinar, or return afterwards to tell us what you found useful and continue the discussion.
