VIGILANT Project

VIGILANT is an interdisciplinary effort by leading European researchers partnered with four European police authorities from Spain, Greece, Estonia and Moldova to develop an integrated platform of disinformation detection and analysis tools from FP7 and H2020 projects. It focuses on providing police authorities with technical capabilities and institutional knowledge necessary to combat disinformation linked to criminal activities while, at the same time, equip them with an understanding of the social drivers and behavioural dynamics behind the phenomena. The project also includes first-of-its-kind disinformation response and investigation training for police officers and aims to set up a specialist European network for police officers to share their experiences and knowledge promoting a unified European approach to a problem that ignores borders. This multi-dimensional approach will increase citizen trust in digital information and infrastructure. Get in touch via info@vigilantproject.eu
