CONFERENCE

 

LEGAL AND NON-LEGAL SOLUTIONS TO TACKLE DISINFORMATION

 

UCLouvain Saint-Louis Bruxelles

May 8, 2026 | 1.30-5 PM 

 

 

 

Disinformation has emerged as one of the major challenges of our digital age. Its effects are far-reaching, from eroding trust in democratic institutions to fueling conspiracy theories. As these issues intensify, the need for effective and evidence-based responses becomes increasingly urgent.

This interdisciplinary conference will bring together researchers and experts from law, computer science and communication science to explore concrete strategies and tools to tackle disinformation.

The event will feature presentations, discussions, and exchanges aimed at deepening our understanding of the phenomenon and highlighting actionable pathways forward.
