• Hate speech, disinformation, verification and awareness of fake news

• Media and war

• Strategic Communications

• Diversity and the Media

The Lab's commitment to excellence is underscored by its receipt of two Jean Monnet Chairs for European Integration and European Public Diplomacy, as well as research funding from Google's DNI Fund.

Every year, the Lab organizes the Thessaloniki International Media Summer Academy (THISAM), in collaboration with major universities and organizations from around the world. This program provides a unique platform for journalists, students, and media professionals to engage with cutting-edge issues and develop essential skills.
