Help Defend Democracy

Online disinformation is one of the biggest threats to democracy today. It erodes trust, fuels polarisation, and distorts elections — and it’s getting smarter.

The Council of Europe is calling on creative minds to design bold, scalable solutions that:

  • Expose fake accounts and disinformation networks
  • Improve transparency in content moderation algorithms
  • Boost access to reliable, pluralistic information
  • Build public resilience through education and critical thinking

From AI tools to educational platforms or policy innovations — if it’s feasible, impactful, and grounded in human rights, we want to see it.

Are you up for the challenge?

Participants should apply as teams. Anyone residing in a Council of Europe member state is eligible to join. Teams should be multidisciplinary, and participants are strongly encouraged to form groups that reflect gender diversity.

Selected teams will be invited to Strasbourg for the final event, with all transport and accommodation costs fully covered by the Council of Europe.
