MedDMO operates under DIGITAL-2021-TRUST-01. MedDMO intends to be the hub of EDMO covering the European Southeast borders, involving three countries (Greece, Cyprus and Malta) that apart from the geographic similarities, face quite similar challenges regarding disinformation campaigns that often try to polarise the EU debate around immigration and borders control issues. MedDMO brings together research, fact-checking and media organisations with internationally acknowledged research work and activity in the area of disinformation and important involvement in the media ecosystems of the three countries. MedDMO plans to set up a technological platform directly connected to the EDMO infrastructure and a daily operation of investigative research that will feed the central and other national hubs with valuable information on a daily basis.
ATC will provide Truly Media as a fact-checking and collaboration tool for partners. ATC will also set-up and operate the project website, which will publish fact-checks, News, media-literacy and research articles. Finally, ATC is responsible for communication and dissemination activities.
The project started in December 2022 and will last for 30 months.
