Innovation

We support new approaches, tools, and methodologies that advance fact-checking and counter disinformation. This includes experimental formats, new or improving technological solutions, and collaborative models that allow fact-checkers to lead on narrative intelligence.

Protection Scheme

In addition to project-based funding, a dedicated Protection Scheme is available to support fact-checkers facing risks caused by the work they do.

This scheme recognises that independent fact-checking can expose organisations and individuals to legal, cyber, and psychological pressures. It provides targeted support: from cybersecurity measures to legal aid, to safeguard their work and wellbeing. These actions complement broader efforts to strengthen democratic resilience and information integrity across Europe.

We work to promote freedom of expression through collective monitoring of misinformation and disinformation trends across Europe. When such trends emerge, we draw attention to them by providing clear, evidence-based information that empowers citizens and policymakers to make informed decisions. This work supports a healthy public debate without controlling or removing content.
