The project aims to investigate how the production, communication and social negotiation of scientific evidence about COVID-19 takes place under the conditions of the corona crisis. The rapid spread of COVID-19 and the associated pressure to act and make decisions increase the need for trustworthy scientific knowledge: however, dissenting experts, the repeated adjustment of figures, statistics and recommendations, and the intensive medialization of divergent opinions and conflict foster, at the same, skepticism towards authorized sources of evidence. Against this background, this interdiscipli-nary project aims to investigate the de- and restabilization of scientific evidence in the corona crisis. We investigate four central arenas where evidence about COVID-19 is being negotiated (scientific research, medical practice, science journalism, and social media), thereby combining the expertise of four research fields (science & technology studies (STS), medical ethics, communication science, and sociology). This allows us to examine the evidence dynamics in these arenas and, most importantly, their interactions in the de- and destabilization of evidence. Furthermore, the integration of the project into the DFG Research Group "Practicing Evidence – Evidencing Practice" allows us to investigate what might be novel about the production, communication and social negotiation of evidence during the corona crisis and whether and how continuities with other conflicts about evidence in contempo-rary knowledge societies can be established.

该项目旨在调查有关新冠肺炎的科学证据是如何在电晕危机的条件下产生、传播和社会谈判的。新冠肺炎的迅速传播以及随之而来的采取行动和做出决定的压力增加了对可信科学知识的需要：然而，持不同意见的专家，对数字、统计数据和建议的反复调整，以及不同意见和冲突的密集调解，同时培养了对授权证据来源的怀疑。在此背景下，这一跨学科项目旨在调查日冕危机中科学证据的去稳定化和再稳定化。我们调查了关于新冠肺炎的证据谈判的四个中心领域(科学研究、医疗实践、科学新闻和社交媒体)，从而结合了四个研究领域的专业知识(科学技术研究、医学伦理学、传播学和社会学)。这使我们能够审查这些领域的证据动态，最重要的是，它们在证据破坏和不稳定方面的相互作用。此外，将该项目整合到DFG研究小组“实践证据实践”中，使我们能够调查在电晕危机期间证据的产生、交流和社会谈判可能是什么新鲜事，以及是否以及如何建立与藐视知识社会中的证据有关的其他冲突的连续性。
