JOIN OUR THIRD EDITION ONLINE: 17 October, 9.30-13.30 o'clock.

This year the Conference will explore science and media as the two faces of trust. We are bringing international scientists and media professionals together - to tackle rebuilding public trust as a common challenge for both contemporary science and media. New forms of co-creation across science and media will be crucial as societies face the dual challenge of accelerating climate change and democratic backsliding.

The program will be live-streamed from Leopoldina, German National Academy of Sciences – with our headlining speakers on location. On our virtual conference platform, we create a space for crucial interdisciplinary collaboration and offer various networking possibilities for all participants.
