POIESIS had an exceptional impactful presence at the World Conference of Research Integrity that was held in Athens (2-5 June).

Dr. Tine Ravn presented POIESIS early findings along with our sister projects IANUS (Dr. Hub Zwart) and VERITY (Dr. Agata Gurzawska) in the “Implications of research integrity for public trust in academic research” session that was fully devoted to those three projects research outputs. The session was chaired by POIESIS former coordinator Dr. Serge Horbach. The presentations steered much interest and thorough discussion and questions from the audience that could go on for much longer than the total of 90 minutes of the session!

Our poster presentation which included POIESIS main objectives, findings from our Public Workshops and Focus Groups, and our many scheduled engagement events, also attracted much interest and Dr. Tine Ravn was ever-present talking to many Conference attendees about POIESIS efforts to tackle societal mistrust in Science. POIESIS consortium members Dr. Panagiotis Kavouras (member of the WCRI Organising Committee) and Leonidas Ananiadis (NTUA) were also in Athens for the World Conference.
