Cluster Disinformation
The Disinformation Cluster promotes a structured and ongoing dialogue between science, policymakers and authorities on current and emerging challenges related to disinformation and its impact on society in Switzerland.
Focus
The cluster is tasked with interdisciplinary scientific expertise to support evidence-based decision-making and strengthen societal resilience to disinformation. It brings together perspectives from the social sciences and humanities, law, and computer science to better understand how disinformation emerges and spreads, its effects on individuals, institutions and society, and possible approaches to addressing related risks.
Steering Committee
The Disinformation Cluster is managed by a steering committee comprising five experts.
