|Is About=The Policy Briefs report by the Trust in Science initiative outlines how co-creative and inclusive methods can inform policy recommendations aimed at restoring and sustaining public trust in science. It presents the methodological approach used during the first reporting period, including stakeholder engagement, participatory processes, and mechanisms for integrating societal values into research governance. The brief emphasizes aligning scientific practices with transparency, accountability, responsiveness, and legitimacy. It also discusses challenges encountered such as balancing expert authority with citizen input, managing conflicts of interest, and ensuring that recommendations are actionable and policy-relevant. Throughout, the document seeks to build bridges between science and society by embedding mechanisms for continuous dialogue and feedback, thereby shaping a pathway for future policy briefs. The policy briefs are intended to serve as tools for research funders, institutions, and governments, guiding them toward more trust-sensitive science policy frameworks.
|Important Because=This first set of policy briefs is important because it operationalizes the concept of trust in science by turning abstract ideals like transparency, accountability, and responsiveness into concrete, evidence-informed policy guidance. Through co-creation and stakeholder engagement, the briefs help ensure that science policy is more attuned to societal values and concerns, not just expert agendas. Such alignment is crucial to counter growing skepticism and distrust toward scientific institutions. Furthermore, the recommendations provided can guide decision-makers, funders, and institutions in embedding trust-enhancing practices into research governance. In doing so, the briefs help lay the groundwork for more legitimate, resilient, and socially robust science policy in the future.
