Imagine a digital shield that spots when foreign governments try to silence people or spread fake news to control specific groups. It's like a security system for the truth, identifying the specific tricks used to manipulate public opinion. The goal is to give authorities a playbook to stop these invisible influence campaigns.
Foreign actors use coordinated tactics to silence dissent and manipulate diaspora communities in the EU. This creates security risks and undermines social cohesion for organizations operating in these regions.
A conceptual framework, a literature database on information suppression, and a planned handbook of methodologies and policy recommendations.
If you are a threat intelligence provider dealing with state-sponsored disinformation — this project developed a methodological toolkit that identifies specific tactics, techniques, and procedures (TTPs) used by actors from 6 countries. This allows for more precise detection of information suppression.
If you are a content moderation firm dealing with coordinated inauthentic behavior — this project developed an evidence base of suppression incidents. This helps in refining algorithms to protect diaspora communities from foreign interference.
If you are a risk management consultancy dealing with geopolitical instability — this project developed policy recommendations and a handbook. This provides a practical guide to assess how foreign interference affects social cohesion and security.
Based on available project data, no pricing or cost information is provided as this is an EU-funded research project.
The project focuses on creating a methodological toolkit and handbook. Based on available project data, it is intended for use by policymakers and security practitioners rather than as a mass-market industrial product.
Based on available project data, there is no specific information regarding IP ownership or licensing terms.
The project addresses threats to fundamental rights, democratic values, and the security of diaspora communities within the EU.
The project period runs from 2023-12-01 to 2026-11-30.
The consortium is heavily academic, consisting of 10 partners across 7 countries, with 5 universities and 3 research organizations. There is a complete absence of large industrial partners (0% industry ratio), though 2 SMEs are involved. This suggests the output will be highly theoretical and policy-oriented rather than a commercial software product.
