This workshop will offer practical insights about advanced investigative practices and methods, based on the work and publications of Bellingcat, one of the most celebrated collectives operating in the field of open source investigations (OSINT). In particular, the workshop will offer an introduction to geolocating techniques and it will also provide an overview of case studies, based on some of Bellingcat’s recent work, spanning from the Ukraine conflict to the investigation of neonazi groups in the US and ISIS. Participants are encouraged to bring their own laptops in order to participate in some hands-on activities during the workshop.

All DIG Academy workshops are free of charge and also open to the lay public.
