What EPFL does about misinformation, disinformation and hate speech

A summary of the EPFL MDH Research Landscape, generated 2026-10-22. Every figure on this page is counted from the dataset it describes.

The EPFL MDH Research Landscape maps 51 actors at EPFL and close partners, and 214 distinct works of theirs (265 actor-work rows, because a co-authored work is counted once per author), that bear on misinformation, disinformation or hate speech. It also profiles 12 organisations outside EPFL working on the same problems.

"Actor" rather than "researcher" is deliberate: some entries are professors and PhD researchers, others are vice-presidents, deans or standards-committee chairs whose contribution to the field is institutional. No lab at EPFL has MDH as its primary mandate; the recurring pattern is MDH-relevant work inside a broader research agenda.
