What does Trust In Science look like? Highlights from our Final Conference

This stunning visual by Miriam Barton captures the essence of 2 powerful days of dialogue, collaboration, and reflection at the Joint Final Conference of IANUS, POIESIS and VERITY, held on May 13–14, 2025, in Brussels.

Hosted at Talk C.E.C., the event marked the final milestone of 3 Horizon Europe projects united by a shared mission: fostering public trust in science.

From keynote insights to World Café debates, this live graphic recording visualizes what emerged during the conference: 
- Bridging science & society;
- Creating inclusive, transparent policy;
- Empowering actors as Stewards of Trust;
- Challenging misinformation and promoting critical thinking;
- Strengthening public engagement in research. 

The sketch reflects conversations with a diverse mix of voices: policymakers, researchers, civil society leaders, citizen scientists, and EC representatives, including powerful contributions from UNESCO to European Commission, and more.

Below you can watch a wrap-up of these exciting 2 days:
