PERITIA
PERITIA (Policy, Expertise, and Trust in Action) was an EU-funded Horizon 2020 project (2020–2023) that studied how people trust experts and what makes expertise trustworthy. The multidisciplinary team – including philosophers, scientists, psychologists, policy experts and media specialists – explored how emotional, social, and normative factors influence trust in experts, beyond just their competence or reputation. Using climate change as a test case, PERITIA combined theoretical analysis with empirical research (surveys, lab studies, and citizen forums) to develop tools and indicators for evaluating trustworthiness. The project produced a “Trustworthiness Toolkit,” policy recommendations, and made its data publicly available through a Trust Hub.
