"We are really happy to have joined forces with important projects that share a common goal - to help build more resilient societies to disinformation and hybrid threats - phenomena that endanger the basic building blocks of democracy. The protection of democratic values, principles and institutions across Europe can only be achieved via inter-disciplinary and international cooperation, which the Horizon Europe scheme generously encourages and supports." - Dominika Hajdu, GLOBSEC
