POIESIS at Germany’s biggest Science communication Forum Posted on November 24, 2023 by Leonidas Ananiadis POIESIS has been present at the Forum Wissenschaftskommunikation 2023, the biggest science communication conference in Germany, held this year in Bielefeld. Anne-Sophie Behm-Bahtat (Wissenschaft im Dialog) presented the project in a session with two other research projects with a focus on trust in science, science communication and also the context of the Covid-19 pandemic. There was a great interest in the project and lively discussions about the challenges of measuring trust and also of reaching citizens for events like the public deliberative workshops. A poster displayed during the 3 days of the conference further informed participants about POIESIS and its objectives.

The article which was published in celebration of World Science Day for Peace and Development serves as an additional inspiration for the POIESIS Consortium for the fascinating challenges that lie ahead.
A wonderful journey comes to an end Posted on November 6, 2023November 6, 2023 by Leonidas Ananiadis But it’s only just the start for the POIESIS engagement activities! The journey of the POIESIS Public Deliberative Workshops came to an end with the submission of their findings. 7 public discussions were conducted in 7 different European countries from May till July. More than 150 people of different social and cultural backgrounds from Denmark, Portugal, Germany, UK, Spain, France and Greece participated and held very interesting discussions about trust in science in the wake of COVID-19 pandemic and the climate change, and how good or bad research practices may affect it. The discussions were enhanced by topical experts on the aforementioned issues in each country and were conducted by a professional moderator. The activity was coordinated by POIESIS WP2 which is led by CIES-ISCTE, the projects’ consortium member from Lisbon, under Dr. Marta Entradas and Dr. Inês C. Sousa.
