This funding call aims to establish advisory services and a network to counter disinformation and foreign information manipulation and interference (FIMI). It builds upon EU-funded research from Horizon 2020 and Horizon Europe to provide practical solutions and knowledge dissemination to a wider audience. The initiative will leverage existing theoretical models, frameworks, and toolkits to counteract hybrid threats, enhance stakeholder understanding, and implement actionable solutions. Target stakeholders include EU institutions, practitioners, civil society, policymakers, and various societal actors. Proposals should focus on capacity building, tailored advisory services, and dissemination of research results, involving non-academic actors and integrating existing frameworks like the DISARM framework and EDMO Hubs.
