ECLIPSE PROJECT

 

Start date: 1st September 2025

Ending date: 1st September 2028

What is ECLIPSE?

ECLIPSE is a European collaboration of 22 partners tackling hate speech and mis/disinformation online and offline. We combine advanced AI-based technologies with insights from social, behavioural, criminological and legal sciences. Together with law enforcement, civil society and international bodies, we will develop tools and counter-narratives; and we will strengthen engagement through digital storytelling, gamification and AR/XR training to build the resilience of professionals and citizens.

Why it matters?

We aim to equip stakeholders with validated, modern tools, methods and curricula that are culturally sensitive and respectful of fundamental rights (freedom of expression, privacy). We will also help standardise European approaches to data collection and countermeasures, and produce policy briefs with practical recommendations for national and EU policymakers.

Real-world impact

Pilots will run in Belgium, Germany/Austria, Italy, the UK, Spain and Türkiye, working multilingually towards scalable, sustainable solutions across Europe and beyond.

"With ECLIPSE we bring together cutting-edge technologies and social sciences to deliver concrete, validated and rights-respecting tools that help professionals and citizens recognise and counter hatred and disinformation in both digital and real-world contexts."
