On November 3–4, 2026, the Saints Cyril and Methodius University of Veliko Tarnovo hosted an international meeting of partners in the InfoTester project— “Development and Implementation of Educational Methods Using Artificial Intelligence and Digital Tools to Counteract Disinformation” (2023-2-PL01-KA220-HED-000180856). The project is funded under the Erasmus+ program, Key Action 2 – “Cooperation Partnerships” in higher education.
The event was attended by representatives of an international project consortium from Poland, Finland, Cyprus, and Bulgaria. The participants discussed the results achieved, the possibilities for applying them in academic education, and the prospects for further developing the educational resources that were created.
On November 3, 2026, the Faculty of Fine Arts at the University of Veliko Tarnovo (VTU) hosted an event presenting the results of the project, which was part of the “SpeakArt” conference program. The meeting began with a presentation by Dr. Piotr Wołejsza, project manager, who outlined the objectives, activities, and key achievements of the InfoTester project. Special attention was given to the educational course on media literacy, developed as part of the project and presented by Prof. Iliana Pavlova, Ph.D., from the team at the University of Veliko Tarnovo.
A particularly important part of the program was the “Break the Fake” practical workshop, which focused on recognizing and countering disinformation using artificial intelligence tools. Participants learned techniques for fact-checking, identifying misleading content, and critically evaluating information in the digital environment.
During the workshop, representatives fromthe Polish-Japanese Academy of Computer Science presented practical tools and methods for detecting disinformation, while representatives from the Open University of Cyprus shared their experiences related to the organization and implementation of an international winter school as part of the project. Partners from Finland—the Tampere University of Applied Sciences (TAMK)—presented opportunities for disseminating and future use of the project’s results, including through an interactive educational game on disinformation.
The afternoon session of the meeting was devoted to the prospects for the further development of the InfoTester project and to ensuring the sustainability and long-term use of the educational products developed.
On November 4, 2026, an international meeting of project partners was held at the Faculty of Economics of the University of Veliko Tarnovo, at the headquarters of the European Digital Innovation Hub. Discussions focused primarily on preparing the InfoTester+ project proposal, which aims to build on the results achieved so far and expand opportunities for developing media and digital literacy in higher education.
The partners also discussed issues related to project management, final reporting, and ensuring the sustainability of the educational resources developed.
The InfoTester project contributes to the modernization of higher education by creating practical educational resources and supporting the international exchange of knowledge and best practices.
