Mutual Learning Exercise on Bridging the Gap Between Science and Policy – 4th Thematic Report

This is the fourth thematic report produced as part of the Mutual Learning Exercise on Bridging the Gap Between Science and Policy. It is framed by a discussion paper on Trust as a Governance Challenge for Science-for-Policy Ecosystems and incorporates insights from three leading experts in the field of science policy. These experts, who are actively involved in major European Commission-funded research projects, have contributed on key issues such as determining what information to trust in the face of scientific dissent and uncertainty, and who to trust given the strategic use of scientific knowledge and the spread of misleading information in political and policy arenas (see Sections 3.1 to 3.8).
