Empowering Public Interest Communication with Argumentation - Project Overview (Extended Abstract)

The EPICA (Empowering Public Interest Communication with Argumentation) project aims to improve Public Interest Communication (PIC) through the use of advanced Computational Argumentation (CA) techniques. The project’s activities include exploring the potential of CA to address specific PIC needs, developing formal models for effective communication, and applying them to real case studies for validation. It also focuses on developing reasoning algorithms and innovative tools to support PIC strategies, enable the dissemination and practical application of the results, and improve institutional communication practices to address critical societal challenges.
