Public Attitudes and Trust in Europe – Analysing Country Level Differences

PERITIA invites researchers, policymakers, and media representatives to the presentation of results from survey data on public attitudes towards national governments, science, and media across six European countries: Germany, the UK, Ireland, Poland, Italy, and Norway. Participants are invited to discuss what the collected data tells us about how people relate to science and scientific experts, with a special focus on the Covid-19 pandemic and climate research.

The survey results will assist in evaluating the extent to which engagement with science and trust in experts present unique or overlapping challenges for the different countries. In a world increasingly relying on knowledge and scientific evidence, trust in trustworthy expertise and public institutions is crucial to achieve progress and well-being, and to tackle the enormous challenges of the 21^st century.
