The logo of the state of Lower Austria features a blue shield in a strong, rich royal blue. At its center is a golden "N" in a clear, sans-serif typeface. The combination of blue and gold conveys an official, high-quality image and is strongly associated with the identity of the state. The logo is deliberately minimalist so that the "N" remains instantly recognizable as the distinctive symbol of the state.
The logo features the official European Union flag: a deep blue rectangle with a circle of twelve golden stars at its center, symbolizing unity, stability, and cooperation across Europe. Next to or below the flag appears the text “Co‑funded by the European Union”, typically presented in a clean and formal typeface. The overall design conveys an official, trustworthy look and clearly indicates financial support from the EU.

YCSAD – Young people fighting disinformation

In the YCSAD project, young people analyze disinformation on the internet and develop counter-strategies together with research teams. This strengthens media literacy and raises awareness of digital information quality.

blurhash The project affects all young people who use social media, and that's why it's being talked about, as you can see in the picture.

The YCSAD (Young Citizen Scientists Against Disinformation) project investigates disinformation on the internet from the perspective of young adults. The goal is to analyze their experiences and strategies and develop innovative approaches to combat disinformation. The benefits lie in strengthening media literacy and developing a potential platform or tool based on citizen science. The innovative aspect is the participatory approach, in which young people are actively involved as "citizen scientists" in the entire research process. This results in practical solutions and a direct exchange between science and society. Research teams and schools in Lower Austria are participating. The project is currently in the implementation phase with ongoing data collection and testing; the planned project end date is December 2026.
