CRISP-Scientist Dr. Michael Kreutzer, Fraunhofer SIT, guest at Schloss Bellevue

The President of the Federal Republic Germany discusses current challenges for the democracy with German and inter­national guests of economy, politics, culture, science and the general public in “Forum Bellevue zur Zunkunft der Demokratie”. This time with the motto “Fakt oder Fake? Über einen bedeutenden Unterschied für die Demokratie” a discussion about the current information and debate culture took place. Dr. Michael Kreutzer, project coordinator of the BMBF-research project DORIAN at Fraunhofer SIT, was a guest in the discussion about the current information culture.

The guests shone a light on the relation of truth and lie in the political and social discourse – especially considering the fast spreading of Fake News via digital media. The research project “DORIAN” funded by the Bundes­forschungs­ministerium deals with exactly this topic. The aim: uncover disinformation and combat them extensively.
