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. The initiative is organized by the Disinformation Analysis Centre of NASK – National Research Institute.

DISINFOHACK, literally meaning “hacking disinformation,” is a nationwide competition focused on the practical analysis of disinformation content circulating in the Polish-language information environment.

Participants will be tasked with analyzing selected disinformation messages and preparing a professional final report summarizing their findings. This analytical and reporting component constitutes the core of the challenge and reflects the real-world tasks performed by professionals working in the field of disinformation analysis.

The competition is organized online by the Disinformation Analysis Centre of NASK, enabling students from across Poland to participate regardless of their location.
