Today (27 February), the European Commission will receive around 100 experts coming from academia, journalism and the public sector to discuss future actions to tackle the spread of fake news and disinformation online.

The discussions of this colloquium will enrich the Commission's reflection on this complex and global issue. Since last November, the Commission has been consulting citizens, online platforms, news organizations, researchers and public authorities to gather views on how to define a European approach on this phenomenon.

In January a High Level Expert Group on fake news started its work to help develop a strategy to tackle fake news and disinformation online. The results of the public consultation, the findings of High-Level Group, an upcoming Eurobarometer and the discussions of tomorrow's workshop will feed into the initiatives against fake news, which the Commission will present in spring 2018. The debates of the colloquium will be webstreamed.
