The EU DisinfoLab is a vibrant home for activists and experts focused on tackling sophisticated disinformation campaigns targeting the EU, its member states, core institutions and core values.
To this end we:
● develop and maintain the main independent European platform/portal on disinformation, which assembles a community of experts fighting disinformation and provides them with tools and resources to encourage collaboration; and we collect and organizes critical information, findings, tools and other resources useful to activists and experts ;
● 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;
● regularly make policy recommendations at the EU level and to Member States based on our own analyses, and help other activists ensure that their advocacy efforts are grounded in sound analysis; an (...)Main EU files targeted

Meetings
Meetings
16 meetings found. Download meetings
The list below only covers meetings held since November 2014 with commissioners, their cabinet members or directors-general at the European Commission; other lobby meetings with lower-level staff may have taken place, but the European Commission doesn't proactively publish information about these meetings. For more information about which commissioner is responsible for which portfolio, check out this link: https://commissioners.ec.europa.eu/index_en All information below comes from European Commission web pages.
1 July 2024: We have noted that some meetings are appearing in duplicate, ie. some meetings seem to be listed twice. This seems to be because the Commission changes some element of a meeting data after the meeting has first been listed, which causes LobbyFacts to register it as a new meeting. We are investigating further.
