Information Defence Alliance

GLOBSEC is part of a project consortium, led by Alliance4Europe, focused on strengthening strategic communication and enhancing societal resilience against disinformation.

The Information Defence Alliance project aims to mitigate the risks of disinformation and enhance the integrity of the information space and electoral processes in target countries—France, Italy, Germany, Moldova, Romania, Slovakia, and the Belarusian diaspora. Coordinated efforts in monitoring, strategic communication, capacity-building, and cooperation will not only protect electoral integrity but also inspire and support other democracies in their fight against disinformation. The project will contribute to strengthening democratic institutions and promoting fact-based public discourse across Europe, with Poland at the forefront. Key activities of the project include:

Monitoring and analysis:

• Advanced tools and methodologies such as DISARM, ABCDE, NATO StratCom Attribution Frameworks and state-of-the-art Open-Source Intelligence (OSINT) approaches will be implemented to continuously monitor and analyse disinformation campaigns targeting these countries.
• Common and standardised case summary templates, common social channels, and a common alert system will be developed to improve organisational efficiency.
• Supporting and expanding the existing network of analysts, investigative journalists, communicators and researchers will facilitate real-time data sharing and coordinated responses among participating actors, enhancing the collective capacity to counter disinformation.

Capacity building and training:

• Conducting training sessions and workshops for journalists, analysts and civil society organisations will enhance their skills in identifying, analysing and countering disinformation. This will build local capacity and create a sustainable framework building societal resilience.
• Providing resources and support for the development of media literacy programs to educate the public on how to identify and counter disinformation will enable citizens to critically assess the information they encounter.

Cooperation and coordination:

• Fostering cooperation between local and international partners will enable the sharing of best practices, tools and strategies to combat disinformation. This collaborative approach will strengthen the overall effectiveness of the project.

 This project is financed from the state budget as part of the competition of the Minister of Foreign Affairs of the Republic of Poland "Public Diplomacy 2024-2025 - European dimension and counteracting disinformation".
