Science and Society, a Trust issue is the webinar organised by the Ca'Foscari University of Venice and QUEST project (EUPRIO is a partner) on May 20, 2021 at 4.30 p.m. (CET). EUPRIO new President Gian-Andri Casutt will be one of the speakers.
Trust is a crucial element of science communication, and of the relationship between science and society. In this event, we will address this issue from a variety of perspectives and the points of view of a scientist (Ilaria Capua), a sociologist of science (Massimiano Bucchi), an institutional communicator (Gian-Andri Casutt), and an expert of information and misinformation spreading dynamics on social media (Fabiana Zollo).
We will explore how scientists and institutions can gain public confidence, but we will also discuss if it is necessary for the communicator to trust the other side, the public. We will investigate whether and when trust is one of the goals of science communication, when instead becomes an essential condition of effective communication.
Roberta Villa, a science journalist and collaborator of the QUEST project, will moderate the debate.
Attend the event on Ca’ Foscari University of Venice’s Facebook page and Youtube channel. No registration is required.
