LESSONS ON COUNTERING FOREIGN MANIPULATION FROM MOLDOVA’S 2025 ELECTIONS - Join the Atlantic Council’s Digital Forensic Research Lab (DFRLab) for a discussion on lessons learned from safeguarding the 2025 elections in Moldova against foreign information manipulation and interference (FIMI).

This event will launch a report on how foreign and domestic actors sought to influence the 2025 Moldovan parliamentary elections, which took place earlier this year. The report draws on research conducted under the FIMI Defenders for Election Integrity (FDEI) Project under the FIMI-ISAC and builds upon the collective monitoring and response efforts of more than thirty organizations. The project’s data points (including twenty-two incident alerts) highlight the persistent and multifaceted information threats shaping Moldova’s electoral environment.

Researchers who led the Moldova Country Election Risk Assessment will gather at this event to discuss their findings about FIMI in the 2025 elections in Moldova, developed under the FIMI-ISAC’s FDEI Project.
