EU DisinfoLab is an independent non-profit at the forefront of understanding and tackling disinformation. At the core of our work is our community – sharing knowledge, learning from each other, and working together to turn insight into action, helping to uphold democratic values and support a healthier information space.
Doppelganger, Overload, Storm-1516, Undercut… Lost in translation when it comes to Russian information manipulation campaigns targeting the EU – and what can actually be done about them? With a small group of partners, we felt it was time to structure our collective knowledge for the community. Building on the Information Manipulation Set (IMS) concept, we applied this framework to four well-documented operations.

In the face of disinformation, defenders of democracy are often drawn into endless battles against falsehoods.
Europe’s counter-disinformation community faces growing pressure from both hostile foreign actors and shifting domestic politics. This publication examines how these trends, illustrated through the case of Germany, are reshaping the environment for safeguarding the integrity of Europe’s information space.
We continuously monitor disinformation activities across the major platforms (digital and traditional), identify trends and threats, alert activists and researchers to these, and make our resource pool widely available to collaborators.
We develop and maintain an independent European platform on disinformation, providing experts with tools and resources to encourage collaboration. We collect and organise critical information, findings, tools and other resources useful for activists and experts.
We regularly make policy recommendations at the EU level and to Member States based on our analyses, and help others ensure that their advocacy efforts are grounded in sound analyses.
We organise regular events, including an annual conference and webinars, which collectively assemble researchers, practitioners, policy-makers, and civil society to share experiences and tools, plan collaborations, and keep abreast of critical developments in the field.
