Two European events bringing together research, media and public policies

Research, innovation, and shared strategies to strengthen democratic resilience in the age of online disinformation.

Riccardo Gallotti interviews Luca De Biase: an unprecedented, inverted dialogue between a scientist and a journalist in the name of media ecology—combining critical analysis of today’s information landscape with proposals for interventions that help redefine the rules of the game to promote information quality.

The European project “Understanding Misinformation and Science in Societal Debates” (UnMiSSeD) aims at understanding the overlap between science and misinformation with a particular focus on the COVID-19 pandemic.

Key findings from “AI@TN: study of Cooperative AI frameworks” - funded by the Autonomous Province of Trento and authored by Bruno Lepri and Laura Ferrarotti (from MobS @ FBK), and Riccardo Gallotti and Lucila Alvarez-Zuzek (from CHuB Lab @ FBK).

A new European consortium combining advanced technologies and social sciences to strengthen the resilience of citizens and professionals has launched in Trento.

Generative AI now knows how to persuade more than a human being: Riccardo Gallotti at Wired Next Fest 2025 discusses the risks and opportunities of this new form of persuasion

On 5 October, FBK researcher Yiming Wang participated in the Wired Next Fest at the Palazzo del Bene in Rovereto, presenting her talk “Amico Robot” (Robot Friend), where she explored the vision of how humans and robots will coexist in the coming decades. Wang has built her career in computer vision and robotic perception: at Fondazione Bruno Kessler she investigates multimodal models and scene understanding, with applications on assistive robotics.

From the batteries of the future to quantum selfies, from a robot that teaches healthy lifestyles to games set in historical contexts and parallel worlds that explore economic and social dynamics. The general public had the opportunity to discover and test all of FBK's research in a single night: Research Night.

From microelectronics to railway and IT security, persuasive AI, and agritech: the FBK initiatives that stood out in June.

The findings of the study conducted by the Complex Human Behaviour Laboratory at FBK, the École Polytechnique Fédérale de Lausanne (Switzerland), and Princeton University (USA) were published in the prestigious journal Nature Human Behaviour.
