[Nicole Antes]

We are excited to invite you to our interdisciplinary workshop, “Combating Misinformation in the Digital Age: Cognitive Biases, Societal Challenges and Ethical Considerations”, which will take place over April 2-4, 2025, in Tübingen, Germany.

The workshop will explore misinformation, manipulative content, the blending of true and false information, and the role which social media plays and can play to counter these challenges. We aim to bring together researchers from diverse disciplines to examine these themes from new perspectives. Contributions are welcome from research of different kinds, including theoretical work, pre-data ideas, and applied studies.
