🛡️ Research and analysis need to be action-driven - you can’t stop foreign influence operations without disrupting them!

That's why we've launched the . Built on existing tools, methods, experience and input from 170+ practitioners, it was designed to drive collaboration between the whole counter-disinformation ecosystem: OSINT researchers, journalists, fact-checkers, academics, policymakers and other practitioners.

It contains:

👣 : A repository the actions to secure and assess the evidence to prove the existence of an operation, steps to stop it, and to mitigate harm.

🗂️ : How to stop 6 specific types of influence operations, also adapted for specific national legal and civil society landscapes in 4 countries 🇵🇱 Poland, 🇨🇿 Czechia, 🇧🇬 Bulgaria, and 🇷🇴 Romania.

💻 : A threat intelligence database to aggregate the findings of civil society, media, academia, and governments and coordinate a response against influence operations.

Today, the European Commission published the - the strategy for defending Europe from autocracy.

Will it get the job done? We break it down for you!

📝 The EU executive wants to allocate a portion of the EU’s defence budget on democratic resilience. 💪 Even better: The EU should allocate an equivalent of 10% of the increase in defence spending on democratic resilience, equivalent to the Rearm Europe/Readiness 2030 plan.

📝 The proposal acknowledges the need to streamline democratic resilience spending across the entire long-term EU budget.
🎯 Even better: This has to be done strategically by setting up improved coordination for targeted fund deployment - for example, the Centre for Democratic Resilience can focus on delivering funding where it’s most needed.

📝The Commission argues for evidence-based policymaking and public debate, supported by research and science. It also intends to set up a European Network of Fact-Checkers.
💡 Even better: Fact-checkers have to be connected with intelligence researchers, journalists and strategic communicators in order to succeed in countering information manipulation.

The proposal is just a beginning of a longer journey to democratic resilience, that’s attacked by disinformation, foreign interference, and addictive manipulative algorithms.

✨ Did you know that in 2024 German women received 37 % less in pension than men?
This and so much more was part of the conversation at the “Mothers of Europe – Gründerinnen einer Idee” accompanying event in Cologne. We spoke about how systemic inequalities shape women’s lives – not just in their careers, but well into retirement.
🔸 For example, retired German women generally receive €17,357/year – men get €27,510. That’s a 36.9% pension gap!
🔸 Why? Women still earn less throughout their careers, are more likely to work part-time or take career breaks due to unpaid care work, and remain underrepresented in leadership positions.
🔸As a result, by age 75+, 21.8% of women are at risk of poverty – compared to 15.4% of men.
✨ In Cologne, we opened up these conversations – not just as statistics, but as lived realities. Swipe right to discover more powerful statements that shaped the event!
✨Thank you to everyone who made this night so powerful!
To our speakers – Johanna Schima from .makemothersmatter – thank you for your insights, advocacy, and clear call for change.
To our artists – – thank you for embodying the unsaid and reminding us that history is not only written – it is felt.
And to all participants, and co-creators – you made the room vibrant, open, and full of possibility!

A look at Alliance4Europe’s GLOBSEC 2025 Panel 🛡️ Fighting Information Threats: Towards a Common EU Approach

What are the steps needed to bring us closer to a unified EU approach to counter information threats?

The discussion emphasised the need for a coordinated, whole-of-society response, showing the role of different stakeholders and a threat response model.

Thank you very much to our esteemed panelists: Věra Jourová (Former VP European Commission), Saman Nazari (Alliance4Europe), Stephen H. Campbell (DISARM Foundation), and Yevgeny Simkin (Samizdat Online). Special thank you to our moderator, Isabella Wilkinson (Chatham House).

This June, Alliance4Europe has had the privilege of co-hosting multiple high-level events focusing on one of Europe’s most pressing challenges – disinformation and democratic interference.

🏠 🇵🇱 We joined Chatham House to discuss the Polish presidential elections with European counter-disinformation experts and policymakers. Here are a few key points from our discussion:

(1) Foreign information operations must be viewed in the context of domestic ecosystems. Legal and institutional capacities must evolve accordingly;

(2) Polish defences proved largely effective—but narrow electoral margins and political stalemates demonstrate the fragile balance;

(3) Russia’s bureaucratic and often clumsy propaganda infrastructure presents both a threat and an exploitable opportunity for European defenders;

(4) Information attacks aim to exhaust our cognitive and institutional bandwidth. We must adopt asymmetric approaches, including robust sanctions enforcement.

Thank you to everyone who joined us in this vital conversation!
