Hanna Börgmann is a Research & Education Manager at ISD Germany, where she heads the joint project ‘Cross-platform identification, monitoring and modelling of disinformation dissemination patterns’ (NOTORIOUS), funded by the German Federal Ministry of Education and Research (BMBF). The project, which is being carried out jointly with the Hamburg University of Applied Sciences (HAW) and the Leibniz Institute for Media Research/Hans-Bredow Institute (HBI), investigates the cross-platform spread of disinformation on social media, focusing on influential actors, platforms and narratives.

In addition, Hanna is involved in ISD’s Action workstream, currently leading the Educator team in the partner project Business Council for Democracy (BC4D), where ISD Germany implements training modules on online hate, disinformation and conspiracy narratives in cooperation with the non-profit Hertie Foundation and the Robert Bosch Foundation. She previously led the project ‘Countering Radicalisation in Right-Wing Extremist Online Subcultures’ at ISD Germany.

Before joining ISD Germany, Hanna worked as a consultant for the public sector on digital transformation projects for PwC Germany, and as a project coordinator for German-Israeli exchange in the field of innovation, including artificial intelligence, at ELNET Germany. Hanna completed her Master’s in International Affairs at the Hertie School in Berlin, where she researched antisemitic radicalisation and mobilisation in the imageboard subcultures of the so-called Chans.
