The Eurecat technology centre is taking part in the MediaFutures project, a European hub which has just announced a call for start-ups, SMEs and artists to present new ideas addressing the challenges posed by misinformation and disinformation through innovative data use.
The call will be open until 30 August. It offers up to €40,000 in funding to artists and up to €80,000 to businesses to identify data-technology-based solutions to combat misinformation and disinformation while also providing them with advice and training.
Eurecat is to furnish participants with “its expertise in data use and artificial intelligence, offering support and advice on essential skills for creating new tech products and artworks and also for tackling challenges such as misinformation and disinformation dispersion and impact in today’s world,” says Dr. Julià Vicens, a researcher in Eurecat’s Big Data & Data Science Unit.
