Trust in Science for Policy Nexus - Knowledge for policy - European Commission The “Trust in Science for Policy Nexus" workshop, held in Ispra, Italy, on September 12-13, 2024, convened by the European Commission's Joint Research Centre, the International Science Council, and co...

Trust in Democratic Institutions is increasingly seen as the fundamental underpinning of democracy.
How public institutions use scientific evidence can help earn public trust but needs to be done right.
Report from @scharfbillig.bsky.social

This looks important. 👇

The summary thread makes a couple of interesting point. One of the key points, in my opinion, is the focus on old social media users — rather than the obsessive focus on youth.

Must-read from my colleague @scharfbillig.bsky.social with @lewan.bsky.social et al.

Democracy depends on a certain degree of shared reality. The attention economy delivers ever more bespoke realities.

The report sets out why and proposes how to deliver a pro-democracy information space.

🧵 New report just dropped 🚨 "Fractured Reality: How Democracy Can Win the Global Struggle Over the Information Space" — from the EU Joint Research Centre, led by Mario Scharfbillig and I. A landmark read for anyone working on disinformation, platforms & democracy. 👇

1) This public attitudes to science report contains troubling (but familiar) insights about public relationships with science. It reinforces what I and others have been saying about a deteriorating relationship between science and society marked by conflict, ambivalence & uncertainty.

We have chosen to fight.

Brilliant response about what the real harms of misinformation are for democracies.

Congrats to @profsanderlinden.bsky.social @hugoreasoning.bsky.social for setting out both sides of this important argument so well.

We really need that adversarial collaboration to get to the bottom of this and give the best possible advice to policymakers.
