Dear Colleagues at the European Communication Research and Education Association,

EDMO is pleased to share the Training on EU Policy to Tackle Disinformation with you, which will be held online on 10 May, 2023 from 2:00 pm – 4:00 pm CEST.

The training aims to provide a basic introduction to EU policy on disinformation, including the most recent developments in the field, also seen through the lens of different players in the field, in particular the European Commission, European Regulators Group for Audiovisual Media Services (ERGA) and European Digital Media Observatory (EDMO) . 

The training is intended as a basic introduction to the policy instruments for those who are not already familiar with them. 

Speakers will include:

Krisztina Stump is Head of the Unit in charge of combatting online disinformation at the European Commission. The Unit drafted the Commission Guidance on how to strengthen the Code of Practice on Disinformation and accompanied the drafting of the new Code by the signatories. She is chairing the Task-force of the Code of Practice. During the last ten years Krisztina has held various positions within the European Commission, in particular in telecommunications, audiovisual media, media freedom & pluralism and copyright.

Stanislav Matějka is the Head of the Analytical Department at the Slovak Council for Media Services, the national regulatory authority for audiovisual media services. In 2023 he serves as a Chair of Subgroup 3 of the European Regulators Group for Audiovisual Media Services dedicated to countering disinformation and strengthening democracy in the digital environment.
