How can making research more open sometimes undermine public trust instead of strengthening it? Join us for a thought provoking session exploring the complex relationship between openness, credibility, and the social expectations placed on science and researchers.

Drawing partly on themes from recent scholarship on the transparency paradox in science- where increased transparency can unintentionally fuel misunderstanding, misinterpretation, or skepticism – this event brings together a panel of researchers to unpack what “trustworthy science” really looks like in practice. They will consider the promises and limits of open research practices, the role of misinformation and politicisation, and emerging strategies for transparency in communicating uncertainty without eroding trust.

Come ready to challenge assumptions, explore tensions, bring your questions for our panel.

The event will be chaired by Professor Bryan Roberts, Department of Philosophy, Logic and Scientific Method, LSE; and feature the following speakers:
