VERITAS: deVEloping scientific Research with ethIcs and inTegrity for shAred benefitS

在文献中已经确定了不同的科学“信任机制”：研究道德、研究诚信、科学交流、利益分享和技术评估。以前欧盟资助的项目集中在科学生态系统的信任的特定行为者（例如科学家，研究资助组织，研究伦理委员会），以探索特定“机器”（例如科学传播，研究伦理）的影响。VERITAS超越了现有技术，将“信任管家”概念化为生态系统的参与者，负责维护社会对科学的信任并促进科学-社会共同创造，这是指正式负责的组织，如研究资助组织和高等教育机构，或者它指的是事实上负责任的组织，如社交媒体公司和视频流媒体平台，它们影响着社会对科学和创新的看法。VERITAS结合了社会科学和工程学的多学科专业知识，综合现有知识，以评估通过原创性研究和小规模参与性活动增强对科学的信任的工具和方法，然后制定VERITAS“信任管理员”建议议定书。VERITAS带来了跨学科的专业知识，以执行网络分析和执行社会媒体的干预措施，以验证VERITAS协议，并减少不同利益攸关方在实践中采用的实际障碍。VERITAS的研究结果将广泛传播给不同的“信任管理者”，如政策制定者、研究资金和执行机构、高等教育机构以及其他研究和创新行为体，以增强社会对科学的信任，促进科学与社会的共同创造。

Different "machines of trust" in science have been identified in the literature: research ethics, research integrity, science communication, benefit sharing and technology assessment. Previous EU funded projects have focused on particular actors of the trust in science ecosystem (e.g. scientists, research funding organisations, research ethics committees) to explore the impact of particular "machines" (e.g. science communication, research ethics). VERITAS 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, either this refers to formally responsible organisations like research funding organisations and higher education institutions, or it refers to de facto responsible organisations like social media companies and video streaming platforms which influence societal perceptions of science and innovation. VERITAS 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 VERITAS Protocol of Recommendations for "stewards of trust". VERITAS brings forward interdisciplinary expertise to perform network analysis and execute interventions on social media, to validate the VERITAS Protocol and alleviate practical barriers for its uptake in practice by different stakeholders. VERITAS findings will be widely disseminated to different "stewards of trust", such as policymakers, research funding and performing organisations, higher education institutions and other research and innovation actors, to enhance societal trust in science and facilitate science-society co-creation.
