Co-Inform Team meets up in Stockholm.  

On December 4th and 5th 2018, Co-Inform multidisciplinary Consortium gathered in Stockholm to track the progress of the project and to define a common methodology for the workshops taking place in early 2019. 

The Consortium aims at developing tools to foster critical thinking for more engaged communities and ultimately for a better-informed society, which constitutes the foundations of a healthy democracy. 

By providing people with co-designed tools to verify sources, the Consortium hopes to help them develop a critical approach to news online and to reduce the spread of misinformation on social media.

Why do people believe in ‘fake news’ and share it on social media?

Misinformation and fabricated stories are unusual, unexpected and can trigger emotions of high intensity.

How will Co-Inform Tackle Misinformation?

Misinformation is one of the most pressing issues that the online world is facing today. The consequences of online misinformation and its impact on real life are only now emerging. 

About Co-Inform 

Co-Inform is an EU-funded project involving top universities, a fact-checking organization, and SMEs in 7 European countries. 

Fact-checking. Why is it important?

The network effect of social media has broadened the sources of information and thus the construction of our narratives. Therefore, in recent years, fact-checking has become more prevalent in journalism.
