Summer School on Misinformation, Disinformation and Hate Speech - 6/10 luglio 2026

The Italian Society for International Organization – SIOI and the United Nations Interregional Crime and Justice Research Institute – UNICRI are launching the 4th edition of the Summer School on Misinformation, Disinformation and Hate Speech, which will be delivered from 6 to 10 July 2026.

Technological advancements are revolutionizing how people connect, communicate, and access information, creating unprecedented opportunities for sharing knowledge and fostering cooperation and advancements in all human disciplines. However, these same innovations have enabled the rapid spread of misinformation, disinformation, and hate speech, posing significant risks to the integrity of the information ecosystem. Safeguarding this integrity is essential to protecting human rights, peace and security, and a sustainable future.

The course is intended for university and post-graduate students, Ph.D. candidates, media and other professionals, including United Nations (UN) personnel, as well as anyone interested in gaining an understanding of disinformation, misinformation, and hate speech, how they manifest themselves and what tools are available to combat them.

The Summer School will provide participants with a fundamental understanding of the various dimensions of disinformation, hate speech, and fake news, including the role of social media in war and political propaganda campaigns.

The Specialized Course adopts a hybrid model of learning. Classes will be held from 9:30 am to 4:30 pm CEST from Monday to Friday.
