ISIC is one of the leading international conferences dedicated to information behaviour research.
We are pleased to announce that Prof. Tomasz Gackowski, Head of the Laboratory of Media Studies at the University of Warsaw (LBM UW), has joined the nationwide DISINFOHACK competition as a mentor.

DISINFOHACK, literally meaning “hacking disinformation,” is a nationwide competition focused on the practical analysis of disinformation content circulating in the Polish-language information environment.
Do you have an eye for spotting false information? Do you check your sources and avoid falling for online manipulation? Now you can put your skills into practice!
The NASK Disinformation Analysis Center invites students to participate in the DISINFOHACK 2026 competition. Participants will be tasked with detecting, analyzing, and describing disinformation narratives present in the Polish information sphere.
On May 21–22, 2026, the conference “Education in the Face of Disinformation. Social Insurance in a Crisis of Trust” will take place, organized jointly by the Polish Social Insurance Institution (ZUS) and the Krakow University of Economics.
Among the speakers will also be the head of the Laboratory of Media Studies at the University of Warsaw (LBM UW) – Tomasz Gackowski, who will deliver a presentation titled: “Images of ZUS in the Era of Post-Truth and Disinformation”.
