The Faculty of Economics and Business Administration of Sofia University “St. Kliment Ohridski” is a partner in DisInfoHack 2026 – a slow, research-based hackathon that engages participants in developing practical solutions to real-world scenarios related to information resilience and countering disinformation. The format is process-oriented and combines teamwork, mentoring support, and a final presentation assessed by an expert jury. Applications are open from February 23 to 27, 2026.

Due to the short application window (23–27 February 2026), interested students are encouraged to submit their applications within the stated period via the application form: https://cs.iict.bas.bg/disinfohackreg.php

Key dates and stages:

• Applications: 23.02–27.02.2026
• Team selection: 28.02–01.03.2026
• Opening and start (online): 23.03.2026
• Closing event and winners announcement (in-person event with guests): 27.04.2026

The goal of DisInfoHack 2026 is to create an environment for systematic work (not a short “sprint”), where teams have time for analysis, iterations, and refinement of their solutions with mentor support, followed by a final presentation evaluated by an expert jury. The format is suitable for students interested in media literacy, analysis, communications, data and technology, public policy, and education.

Prize fund (cash equivalent): EUR 750 for 1st place, EUR 500 for 2nd place, and EUR 200 for 3rd place.
