The key dynamics surrounding digital media and disinformation will be explored during a one-day conference at the University of the Republic of San Marino, where experts and professors from academic institutions in cities such as L'Aquila and Pisa will be present, along with diplomats, institutional representatives, and professionals. Topics addressed on Thursday, May 20, include the potential for misinformation from digital media in education, the creation and spread of health-related hoaxes, the phenomenon of fact-checking, and the role of social media in hybrid warfare.
Speakers scheduled for the conference, which will be held online, include Corrado Petrocelli, Rector of the University of San Marino; Enrico Borghi of the Parliamentary Committee for the Security of the Italian Republic; Sergio Mercuri, Italian Ambassador to San Marino; and Sylvie Bollini, Permanent Representative of San Marino to the Council of Europe.
The initiative, organized under the scientific coordination of Luca Gorgolini, professor at the University of San Marino, involves the Department of History and the Department of Human Sciences, specifically involving the degree program in Communication in Digital Media. On the three-year program's Facebook page, @unirsm.digitalmedia, it will be possible to follow all the interventions live.
