Via EDMO Ireland (a hub of the European Digital Media Observatory (EDMO), links to reports which Google commissioned from Ecorys (a Dutch research consultancy) and which were published September-November 2024
- Research report 1: Putting media literacy on the map – a snapshot of policies and practices in Europe (it looks at 8 European countries, and highlights media literacy, or media and information literacy, initiatives - specifically information literacy is not a focus): https://www.ecorys.com/app/uploads/2019/02/Ecorys-ML-policy-study-report-1.pdf
- Research report 2: Google’s media literacy initiatives and partnerships in Europe – a learning review (this includes research summaries and recommendations - the focus is on the Prebunking; Be Internet Awesome; and Super Serachers projects): https://www.ecorys.com/app/uploads/2019/02/Ecorys-ML-policy-study-report-2.pdf
- Plus a summary aimed at young people: https://www.ecorys.com/app/uploads/2019/02/Media-literacy-study-CYP-summary.pdf 

A set of policy briefs (about 10 pages each) on priority media literacy topics, produced by ECORYS with the LSE:
- Policy brief #1: Generative AI and Media Literacy Education: https://www.ecorys.com/app/uploads/2019/02/Policy-brief-1-Generative-AI-and-Media-Literacy-Education-1.pdf
- Policy brief #2: Enabling civil society to combat disinformation https://www.ecorys.com/app/uploads/2019/02/Policy-brief-2-Enabling-civil-society-to-combat-disinformation-1.pdf
Policy brief #3: Engaging and meeting the needs of underserved populations: https://www.ecorys.com/app/uploads/2019/02/Policy-brief-3-Engaging-and-meeting-the-needs-of-underserved-populations-1.pdf
