Why FIMI-RESIST
01 / Mission
From scattered efforts to a shared European response.
Powerful tools and research already exist. Too often, they remain hard to find, difficult to use or disconnected from the people who need them. Meanwhile, AI-enabled manipulation is evolving fast.
We connect the pieces — evaluating tools, building skills, aligning frameworks and creating trusted channels between researchers, practitioners, policymakers and civil society.
Together in Mainz
October 2026
The FIMI-RESIST consortium has begun its work.
What we do
Six routes to stronger information resilience.
Tools that work
Systematically assess existing counter-FIMI tools, with usability and interoperability at the centre.
Capacity building
Co-design training, workshops and toolkits for media, educators, NGOs, fact-checkers and communities.
Connected frameworks
Bridge established approaches into a living meta-framework with a shared language for action.
Evidence for policy
Translate findings on AI and big data into rights-respecting, operational policy recommendations.
A durable network
Connect research, policy, industry and civil society in a European ecosystem that lasts beyond the project.
The consortium
One challenge.
Many perspectives.
Research, media, civil society and technology partners across Europe — with frontline experience and deep links to EDMO hubs and related initiatives.
Knowledge in action
Resources will grow with the project.
This will become the home for tested tools, advisory material, training resources, policy briefs, events and open project outputs.
