Trust in science remains high

COALESCE continues to foster dialogue between Hubs and government representatives on key challenges for science communication. In january, the project held its second mutual learning exercise, focused on trust in science. While the policy briefing is still in preparation, you can already read a summary of how the session unfolded. You can also revisit the first mutual learning exercise on misinformation through an illustration by the artist Edgar Sanjuan.

Building capacity remains central to addressing these challenges. Behice Pehlivan, from Koç University — a COALESCE Hub — is keen to bring science communication training to Turkey, where she sees a clear need for capacity building. Supporting Hubs through tailored training is one of the core missions of the future European Competence Centre for Science Communication, and the recent train-the-trainer event was exactly what Pehlivan had been looking for.
