Summary:
The Data Management Plan (DMP) of the AI4Debunk project serves as an evolving document which is periodically updated throughout the project implementation, detailing the procedure for data collection, consent procedure, storage, reuse, protection, retention and destruction of data, and confirmation that the usage and sharing of data comply with national and EU legislation. The DMP is created, confirmed, updated, and regularly monitored by the IPR working group (IPR WG) which is approved and supervised by the Innovation Management Team (IMT). The DMP contributes to the D1.1 Project Handbook, Quality Assurance Plan and Data Management Plan and D1.2 Self-assessment plan.

Summary:
The deliverable D6.1 – Starting dataset of fake statements and related multimedia contents – describes the datasets prepared for collecting fake statements and related multimedia contents on the two case studies considered within the project (i.e., the war in Ukraine and the climate changes).

A brief introduction on the objectives and expected outcome of Task 6.1 – Preparation of the starting dataset of fake statements and related multimedia contents – is provided. Moreover, the structure and implementation of the two datasets are discussed, focusing on (i) the template used for extracting data from disinformation cases, (ii) the Database Management System (DBMS) used for the implementation of the datasets, and (iii) the cloud environment used for storing and sharing the multimedia contents. Afterward, a brief description of disinformation cases collected and analysed for the three releases of the datasets is provided. Finally, an assessment of the data quality of the datasets is carried out.

Summary:
This Gender Equality Plan is the first milestone towards the approval of guidelines to integrate gender equality within the different project’s work packages.

The AI4Debunk consortium is committed to including gender and intersectionality as a transversal aspect in the project’s activities. In line with EU guidelines and objectives, all partners – including the authors of this deliverable – recognise the importance of advancing gender analysis and sex-disaggregated data collection in the development of scientific research. Therefore, we commit to paying particular attention to including, monitoring, and periodically evaluating the participation of different genders in all activities developed within the project, including workshops, webinars and events but also surveys, interviews and research, in general. While applying a non-binary approach to data collection and promoting the participation of all genders in the activities, the partners will periodically reflect and inform about the limitations of their approach. Through an iterative learning process, they commit to plan and implement strategies that maximise the inclusion of more and more intersectional perspectives in their activities.
