The lab was founded in 2018 thanks to an international grant from IBM, and is currently housed by the Institute for Demoracy and UMB. The lab strives to create an innovative environment based on multidisciplinarity, openness, integrity, and innovation. UMB DSL&#8217;s activities are currently concentrated in two pillars: Digital Media and Society, and Cybersecurity and Society. As part of these programs, the lab has, among others, been active in exploring digital infrastructural governance, researching computational propaganda on Twitter, developing media and digital literacy study modules, as well as providing policy feedback at national and EU levels.
