EuroClimateCheck Experts Database

What is the project?

The EuroClimateCheck Experts Database, a key component of the FactCRICIS project, connects climate specialists with European fact-checkers to collaboratively address climate misinformation. This innovative initiative serves as a centralized hub, uniting scientific expertise, linguistic diversity, and cross-border collaboration to enhance the accuracy and effectiveness of climate-related fact-checking significantly.

Earth is such a complex organism that you literally need a doctor for every single ‘organ,’ that is, in every field.

That’s why we’re building a broad community of experts—so that fact-checkers can swiftly reach reliable specialists, even on the most niche and specialized topics.

Why join?

• Amplify Your Impact: Your research and expertise will directly support efforts against climate misinformation, contributing to informed public debate and evidence-based policymaking throughout Europe.
• Expand Your Visibility and Network: Gain exposure within a vibrant Europe-wide community of fact-checkers, scientists, and stakeholders. Engage in meaningful collaborations, exchange knowledge, and participate actively in public awareness and education initiatives.
• Cross-Border Influence: Participate in multilingual, multi-regional fact-checking projects. By joining, your expertise can transcend national borders and help tackle misinformation narratives across diverse European regions.

The Database

The EuroClimateCheck Experts Database links climate specialists and the European Fact-Checking Standards Network (EFCSN). Key features include:

• Expert Access for Fact-Checkers: Quickly connect verified climate experts with fact-checkers for accurate, science-based insights.
• Collaborative Solutions: Foster seamless exchanges of expertise, enabling effective responses to complex misinformation.
• Localized and Multilingual Support: Connect multilingual experts with local fact-checkers to deliver tailored responses across Europe.

How Does It Work?

• Expert Profiles: Specialists submit professional details (expertise, affiliations, languages) to help fact-checkers quickly identify relevant collaborators.
• Targeted Engagement: Enables swift, coordinated responses, reducing duplication and promoting unified cross-border strategies.
• Secure and Ethical: Protects data integrity and privacy, accessible exclusively to verified members for professional purposes.

Together, let’s build a resilient, informed response to European climate misinformation.
