deVEloping scientific Research with ethIcs and inTegritY

Objectives

VERITY is focusing on trust in science but goes beyond the state of the art by conceptualising "stewards of trust" as the actors of the ecosystem that are responsible for upholding societal trust in science and facilitating science-society co-creation. This either refers to formally responsible organisations like research funding organisations and higher education institutions, or to de facto responsible organisations like social media companies and video streaming platforms which influence societal perceptions of science and innovation.

Outputs

VERITY combines multidisciplinary expertise, both from the social sciences and engineering, to synthesise existing knowledge to evaluate tools and methods for enhancing trust in science through original research and small-scale participatory activities, before producing the VERITY Protocol of Recommendations for "stewards of trust". VERITY brings forward interdisciplinary expertise to perform network analysis and execute interventions on social media, to validate the VERITY Protocol and alleviate practical barriers for its uptake in practice by different stakeholders.
