A good opportunity to reflect on the role of scientists and policy-makers.
As I remind in my contribution, research and policy work both in the public interest!

Have a look!

💡 Read the main insights from the May 2025 #Science for #Policy workshop by the Joint Research Centre & @eui-eu.bsky.social: hdl.handle.net/1814/93071

🪢 This brief synthesizes 3 interconnected themes discussed during the panel “Narratives and Conflict in the #PostTruth #Information Environment”.

"Ensuring information integrity needs a multi-stakeholder and multi-disciplinary approach and must respect fundamental rights.

Within this multi-layered picture, the dialogue between independent researchers and policy makers is a pivotal one."

– Paula Gori, Secretary-General, EDMO

🌡️ While Europe's #heatwave pushes temperatures above 40°C, today's first session of our training series underlined: #climate #disinformation doesn't just happen, it's a tool used by powerful actors to sabotage #climateaction – and it must be better understood + countered. 1/2

"A recent EDMO report flagged 'consistent gaps in transparency, independent oversight and measurable outcomes across all commitments,' warning that the code 'risks remaining performative' if the companies do not step up."

The Code takes effect ahead of high-stakes EU-US trade talks, requiring platforms to address disinformation risks and prove compliance via audits. Brussels insists rules are non-negotiable—even as Washington raises censorship concerns, reports Ramsha Jahangir.

EU Disinformation Code Takes Effect Amid Censorship Claims and Trade Tensions | TechPolicy.Press

The DSA now requires large tech platforms to meet tougher transparency and audit rules to curb disinformation, reports Ramsha Jahangir.

#EuropeDay celebrates peace & unity in #Europe – the very achievements #disinformation actors often seek to erode.

🛡️ Preserving the legacy of the #SchumanDeclaration also means doing everything we can to uphold #InformationIntegrity. For this we'll keep working w/ partners across & beyond the #EU 🤝

Truth Sandwich 🥪

Reporting on politics these days is a challenge.

Use the Truth Sandwich.

State facts, then the falsehood, then facts again. Facts first and last. Don’t amplify falsehoods without context.

This is a useful reminder for journalists and in public discussions

If you want to get updates on the 2 recent air crashes in the US you have to follow the NTSB newsroom on X

The NTSB is an independent federal agency and X appears to become the only official newsroom of a public institution

“media coverage of child and young migrants often frames them in a limited and problematic way. This oversimplified and polarised representation fails to capture their complex situations and the reasons for seeking safety in Europe.”

Migration Policy Centre @mpc-eui.bsky.social · Jan 14

#Children & young #migrants in Europe face limited visibility ⚠️

Their experiences rarely reach the #media and, when they do, the portrayal often oversimplifies their realities

In this blog, Valentina Baú reflects on how we tell their stories🔎

Mr Zuckerberg's misrepresentation of independent and professional #factchecking organisations as biased censors and his attack of the #EU policy framework are concerning – and in stark contrast with #Meta's previous commitment to make its services safer for all users.
