These exchanges run in both directions: we translate our findings into practical guidance for interventions and responses, and we learn which questions are most pressing “in the field,” which in turn shapes our research. 

Who we work with: 

• Organisations & communication professionals: evidence-based guidance on handling misinformation that touches their operations. 
• Policymakers: policy recommendations that take the broader crisis of trust into account. 
• Citizens: building awareness of, and resilience to, misinformation. 
• Journalists & fact-checkers: guidance on reporting misinformation and on responding to accusations of spreading it. 
• Educational institutions: strengthening media literacy and helping young people recognise mis- and disinformation. 

Actively building and taking part in external networks on misinformation

MiRA is actively building and taking part in external networks on misinformation, including collaborations with the Gemeente Amsterdam Werkplaats Desinformatie, BENEDMO, regional kennisateliers, misinformation working groups at Utrecht University and Vrije Universiteit Amsterdam, and AlgoSoc, as well as knowledge partners such as the Netherlands Institute for Sound & Vision. 

MiRA members regularly take part in expert meetings, roundtables with policymakers, and workshops with journalists and fact-checkers, and provide evidence-based advice to strengthen and evaluate interventions and information-literacy programmes.
