METACOG Presented at the University of Montenegro Open Day and Seasonal Employment Fair
On 11 March, at the campus of the University of Montenegro, the METACOG project was presented during the Open Day and the Seasonal Employment Fair, where it was promoted as one of the satellite projects within the Ulysseus European University Alliance.
The events attracted more than 3,500 visitors, including high school students, university students, as well as academic and non-academic staff, providing an excellent opportunity to promote the project and its activities.
During the events, interested pupils, students, and members of the academic and administrative staff of the University of Montenegro had the opportunity to learn more about the objectives, significance, and activities carried out within the project. Visitors were also able to obtain additional information about its importance and the opportunities for engagement in the activities implemented within the project.
The promotion of the project at these events further contributed to raising awareness about the importance of international projects and the activities carried out within the Ulysseus network, as well as the opportunities they provide for students, researchers, and university staff.
About METACOG
METACOG is an EU-funded AI literacy programme designed to combat disinformation and fake news by promoting civic engagement and shared European values.
The initiative aims to strengthen citizens’ ability—particularly among higher education students and teachers—to recognize and respond to disinformation through an innovative curriculum, AI-based tools, and best practices.
By acknowledging the dual role of artificial intelligence in both generating and countering disinformation, METACOG seeks to empower individuals with the critical thinking and digital literacy skills essential for navigating today’s information landscape.
Targeting higher education institutions, government and non-governmental organizations, media professionals, and the general public, METACOG is led by Haaga-Helia University of Applied Sciences (Finland) in collaboration with the Technical University of Košice (Slovakia), the University of Montenegro (Montenegro), and The Hague University of Applied Sciences (The Netherlands). The project is funded under the Erasmus+ Programme (KA220-HED) and will run from 1 September 2024 to 31 August 2027.
