Stage in the NSC – NUPI project dedicated to combating disinformation in the context of the war in Ukraine
New Strategy Center organized on Monday, 23 October, in partnership with the West University of Timisoara, one of the stages of the project “FLANKS 2 – dealing with the challenge of political warfare in the Ukraine war context”, which NSC is implementing in partnership with the Norwegian Institute of International Affairs (NUPI), funded under the Bilateral Relations Fund 2014-2021. The Training of Trainers activity, in which WUT master and PhD students participated, was dedicated to understanding the phenomenon of disinformation and strengthening the skills needed to identify and combat its various manifestations in the context of the war in Ukraine.
In the coming weeks, the 10 trainers will organise workshops for 100 WUT students from different faculties, with the aim of passing on the skills acquired during this activity.  Through this project New Strategy Center and the Norwegian Institute of International Affairs want to contribute to a better understanding in Norway and Romania of Russian-led disinformation campaigns aimed at weakening institutions and weakening support for Ukraine.
