Portugal) and the SOPCOM's (Portuguese Communication Sciences 
Association) Journalism and Society section are organizing the COVID-19 
#DisInfoStudies Seminar, to be held on October 2, through an online 
platform, focused on the circulation of disinformation and fake news in 
the context of the pandemic. During the seminar, round tables will be 
held, followed by an expanded discussion. The phenomena of

multidisciplinary contribution of Communication and Media Scientists, 
Psychologists and Life Sciences ethics experts.
