Imagine a bridge between experts and the public that has started to crumble because of misinformation. This project creates a guidebook for the people who manage that bridge—like universities and social media platforms—to help them fix the cracks. It's about making sure people feel safe and confident when they use scientific data to make life decisions.
Public mistrust in science leads to the rejection of evidence-based policy and slow adoption of innovation. Organizations lack a practical method to rebuild this trust and align their research with citizen values.
A Protocol of Recommendations consisting of evidence-based, actionable guidelines for institutions to enhance public confidence in science.
If you are a digital content moderation firm dealing with the spread of scientific misinformation—this project developed a Protocol of Recommendations that helps you guide public trust and reduce skepticism. This ensures your platform remains a credible source of information.
If you are a science communication agency dealing with low public uptake of new research—this project developed evidence-based guidelines that help you align research messaging with citizen values. This increases the legitimacy and adoption of the knowledge you promote.
If you are a university research office dealing with a gap between academic output and societal needs—this project developed a set of actionable guidelines to facilitate co-creation with citizens. This ensures your research agendas are more closely aligned with real-world needs.
Based on available project data, no specific pricing or implementation costs are mentioned; the project focused on developing a Protocol of Recommendations.
The project aims to reshape the ecosystem of trust across Europe, suggesting the guidelines are designed for wide-scale application by various institutions.
Based on available project data, there is no mention of specific patents or licensing fees, as the output is a set of recommendations and guidelines.
The project supports the implementation of the European Research Area (ERA) and Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) to influence EU-wide governance.
The project period ran from 2022-09-01 to 2025-08-31 to validate the recommendations through social media interventions and participatory activities.
The consortium is lean and diverse, consisting of 7 partners across 6 countries. It features a strong industry presence with a 43% industry ratio, including 3 SMEs, which suggests the results are grounded in practical application rather than just academic theory.
