Tackling Disinformation, Foreign
Information Manipulation & Interference

The RESONANT project aims to create a better picture and understanding of state and non-state actors applying information suppression and to recommend strategies, tools and methodologies to reduce the impact and the vulnerability of different target groups.

What we do

Develop a comprehensive understanding of how information suppression is applied by state and non-state actors, what are the social impacts, and how to support detecting and tackling such activities.

The Project

RESONANT project’s primary objective is to analyse and document the Tactics, Techniques, and Procedures (TTPs) employed by both state and non-state actors in the realm of Foreign Information Manipulation and Interference (FIMI).

Foreign Information Manipulation and Interference (FIMI) including information suppression concern a series of threatening behaviours in the information domain and represents a major challenge, in terms of counteraction and the policy-making in this matter. Numerous FIMI operations carried out by non-EU state and non-state actors, often recorded within and beyond EU borders, aims to domestically threaten fundamental rights and freedoms and could as well produce threatening effects outside of their borders.
