Project Goals

The first objective is to enable societal stakeholders to distinguish valid from non-valid trust, healthy from unreasonable distrust, as well as to deal with the uncertain and multiple viewpoints that accompany scientific knowledge. The second is to enable researchers to foster trust in science, making research inclusive, transparent and able to respond to societal needs and concerns, as well as to conduct meaningful research beyond their own interests, preferences, and ideological biases.
