Trust is currently a big issue – in
politics, in business and in our society. The high-level conference entitled Trust:
European Research Co-creating Resilient Societies conference, which
takes place at the Palais des Académies in Brussels, 29-30 October, will address
the issue of trust and the role of European research in creating resilient
societies for a better future.
The
conference includes many high-level speakers from an array of disciplines and
organisations – from academia to business and NGOs. Carlos Moedas, EU
Commissioner for Research & Innovation, is the guest of honour and will
speak in the afternoon of 29th of October.
The
main goal of the conference is to showcase Socio-economic Sciences and
Humanities (SSH) research within the broad concept of trust, show the real
impact of research and take it out of its assumed ivory-tower for the benefit
of society as a whole. An exhibit presenting objects of social innovation will
complete this approach to research, highlighting the societal relevance and
usability of SSH research for society, business and citizens.
On
the 2nd day of the conference, the current Horizon 2020 Work
Programme for Societal Challenge 6 “Europe in a Changing World –Inclusive,
Innovative and Reflective Socieites” will be presented by the European
Commission. The EU-funded network of national contact points “Net4Society”
together with the European Commission is hosting this high level event, with
over 400 registered participants.
The two-day conference will be
webstreamed.
