BSoG
Situated in the heart of Europe, the Brussels School of Governance (BSoG) strives to be a hub for interdisciplinary teaching and cutting-edge research. Our purpose is to understand and help tackle key societal dynamics and challenges. We focus on migration and diversity, the digital transformation of society, climate change and green transitions in the economy, as well as diplomacy, strategy and geopolitical competition. We educate open-minded students and connect to policymakers and societal actors interested in a research-informed understanding of Europe in a changing world.
Centre for Digitalisation, Democracy and Innovation
The Centre for Digitalisation, Democracy and Innovation (CD2I) conducts cutting-edge academic and policy-relevant research on the ongoing digital transformation of society. We critically examine the evolution of new modes of governance from an interdisciplinary perspective, specifically in terms of multistakeholder and democratic processes that involve private, public, and civil society actors, whilst paying attention to issues of power and participation.
Beschrijving van het project
We welcome MSCA proposals that intersect with one of our five research priorities.
In this research priority, we view disinformation as a manifestation of distrust and disorder in democracy. We analyse the topic from multiple complementary angles, including how digital tools are abused to spread illegal and harmful content, and how disinformation interacts with political trust, journalism and regulation of tech platforms. We also investigate the potential and pitfalls of artificial intelligence in this context.
