Month: December 2024

On December 11, our sister project VERITY in collaboration with POIESIS and IANUS, hosted an inspiring and thought-provoking meeting on “The Role of Trust in Science for Effective Policy and Societal Progress.”

A special highlight of the event was the active participation of the European Commission, represented by Dr. Georgios Papanagnou and Fara Lledó San Mauro. Their presence and valuable contributions provided us with the latest updates and guidance on maximizing the impact of our projects, underscoring the significance of building trust in science for societal progress.

There were many insightful presentations and contributions from:

• European Commission representatives, Dr. Georgios Papanagnou and Fara Lledó San Mauro;
   
• VERITY Project, presented by Dr. Agata Gurzawska from Trilateral Research IE;
   
• The PREPARED Project, presented by Kalle Videnoja, an expert in international affairs at the Finnish National Board on Research Integrity;
   
• The University of West Attica (UniWa), with a presentation by Panagiotis Monachelis;
   
• IANUS, represented by Hub Zwart (Erasmus University of Rotterdam);
   
• POIESIS, represented by Leonidas Ananiadis (National Technical University of Athens) 

Lisa Haberlein from EUREC, who not only presented on the joint policy paper but also extended an invitation to the broader Trust in Science Cluster to contribute to this initiative, helping us develop feasible recommendations for enhancing societal trust in science

The meeting was skillfully moderated by Mathieu Rochambeau from EUREC, fostering an open environment for dialogue.

Let’s keep the conversation alive!

The POIESIS 4^th General Assembly was held in Aarhus on November 28^th and 29^th. With POIESIS results from the projects’ plethora of engagement events beginning to pile up, we are delighted that we are getting closer towards POIESIS final recommendations for Tackling Societal Mistrust in Science and for Strengthening the co-creation of Research & Innovation contents by society!!
