Building Trust in Science and Democracy – The Role of Science Communication
Chat

Tuesday, 29 August
90 minutes
First come first serve
Disinterest and increasing scepticism towards science and democracy lead us to the question of what we can 
do to restore trust in these crucial factors. The results of a recent study relating to the causes of science and 
democracy scepticism conducted by the Institute for Advanced Studies will be discussed along with the role of 
science communication.
