Join us for the Synthetic Image Detection Challenge, a task of the MediaEval 2025 workshop organized by the EU-funded projects vera.ai and AI-CODE. In this article, you find out more about what the challenge is about, respective dates and deadlines, as well as requirements. We look forward to your creative solutions and insightful contributions.

On 24 June 2025, more than 70 participants joined the second public vera.ai webinar in which project npartners presented key research outcomes and technological advancements developed over the past three years. The sessions were geared towards researchers and professionals, focussing on the cutting-edge AI models and methodologies that power the verification tools offered by vera.ai. Here's a recap of the event, including access to related materials.

On 24 June 2025 we hosted the second edition of two sessions in which we presented project outcomes. Following edition 1 that primarily targeted practitioners such as journalists, fact-checkers and investigators, edition 2 had the research community as its primary target audience. In other words: those developing cutting edge tools and services in vera.ai that support in content analysis to counter disinformation. Here is a recording of the entire webinar.

Here it is: the recording of our exclusive webinar that was hosted on 17 June 2025 - making it part of the ultimate vera.ai video series. Its aim: to present some of the project outcomes and results to date, focussing on tools and services for fact-checkers, journalists, investigators and other practitioners active in countering disinformation. 

On 17 June 2025 we hosted the first session in which we presented project outcomes. It primarily targeted practitioners, such as journalists, fact-checkers, investigators and anyone interested in hands-on advice and solutions. Over 100 people attend the webinar. Here's a recap, resources and a recording of the entire event.

On 17 and 25 June 2025, the vera.ai consortium invites interested individuals to attend two online events in which project outcomes will be presented. The sessions on 17 June will focus on vera.ai tools and services, with the primary target audience being journalists and fact-checkers. Sessions on 25 June will present deep dives into research, aiming to reach primarily academics and researchers.

On 6 May 2025 at 5 pm CET (11-12 am Eastern Time), Dr. Quentin Bammey of the Image and Visual Representation Lab of EPFL will give a webinar at the IEEE Signal Processing Society. Topic: spectral artefacts left by image resampling and their use to fight disinformation. Participation is free, but prior registration is required.

On 3 April 2025 vera.ai joined the first online webinar of the AI-on-Demand Webinar Series. Title: AI Innovation From Research to Market. We were represented by Olga Papadopoulou (CERTH), supported with input from Martin Hyben (KInIT) and Luca Cuccovillo (IDMT). Here's more, including links to available assets.

Jakob Abesser of Fraunhofer IDMT shared his latest veraAI research work at the 51st Annual Meeting on Acoustics (DAS | DAGA 2025) which took place at the Bella Center in Copenhagen, Denmark in March 2025. In this article you can read more about the conference highlights and the key findings of his research. 

On 17 and 24 June 2025 the vera.ai project consortium will host two online events in which project partners will present research outcomes and respective challenges. Sessions will take place from 2-5 pm via video conference. The 17 June session is dedicated to end user facing tools, while 24 June will target primarily the research community. Overriding topic: AI and content analysis.
