BECID took part in the second edition of the HaDEA Showcase Event in Brussels, which was dedicated to EU-funded projects and synergies driving Europe’s competitiveness and preparedness.
Our Communications Specialist Annette Nordmann represented BECID in a high-level panel discussion, sharing insights from our work on information resilience, disinformation monitoring, and preparedness in the Baltic region. Annette highlighted key challenges facing the EU today, including the speed and cross-border nature of information crises, fragmentation in early-warning and response systems, gaps between regulation and platform enforcement, and the growing trust deficit that disinformation exploits.
She also underlined the importance of EU funding in strengthening preparedness through prevention, cross-sector cooperation, and evidence-based approaches. BECID’s work on collaborative platform monitoring, media literacy, and AI-supported verification tools demonstrates how EU-funded projects can simultaneously improve crisis readiness and support Europe’s long-term competitiveness.
In addition to the panel, BECID hosted a stand in the Networking Village, where we presented our project, exchanged experiences with fellow EU-funded initiatives, and explored new opportunities for future collaboration.
We thank HaDEA for the invitation and for fostering dialogue and cooperation that strengthen Europe’s resilience in an increasingly complex information environment.
