THE WORKSHOP SESSIONS IN DETAIL

Session B TRUST IN SCIENCE Lewis Hou

The workshop session At this time where trust in science is being tested to its limits, how can we support and earn trust and trust-worthiness in our science engagement? How can we build long-term relationships and equitable partnerships with diverse communities to achieve this? This interactive session will introduce some of the key issues and research behind trust in science and share case-studies from the work of leading community science organisations. Through group discussions, provocations and personal reflections, you will leave this session with new ideas, practical strategies and the start of longer-term commitments to support better Trust- building community partnerships in your work.

Stefania Milan, Associate Professor of New Media and Digital Culture at the University of Amsterdam, and Associate Professor (II) of Media Innovation at the University of Oslo. The age of digitisation, ‘datification’, and ever smarter machines has opened up huge opportunities, from improving national security and healthcare to shopping and making travel plans. At the same time the combination of machine learning and massive data that is increasingly driving many of the automated decision-making systems that govern our daily lives brings dramatic consequences for democracy as we know it and raises serious questions around human agency, civil liberties, and power structures. Stefania also heads DATACTIVE, a project funded by the European Research Council that explores the politics of big data, privacy, and surveillance.

Sayed Azam-Ali is the Chief Executive Officer of Crops For the Future – the world’s first centre dedicated to research on underutilised crops for food and non-food uses. The essential problem tackled by Sayed is that, currently, only four major crops provide over 60 percent of the world’s food. This extreme lack of diversity in agriculture carries severe risks for global food supply, especially for a rising global population in a hotter, more volatile world. To alleviate these risks, Sayed aims to unravel the potential of currently underutilised crops to diversify the global food basket with nutritious crops in the face of climate change.
