DESCRIPTION:<p><strong>Trust\, Expert Opinion and Policy</strong></p>\n<p><strong>A multidisciplinary conference investigating questions of trust in and the trustworthiness of expert opinion</strong></p>\n<p><strong>O&rsquo\;Brien Science Centre</strong></p>\n<p><strong>University College Dublin</strong></p>\n<p><strong>August 31-September 2\, 2017</strong></p>\n<p>The conference is organised by Professor Maria Baghramian (School of Philosophy\, University College Dublin) and Professor Luke Drury (School of Cosmic Physics<strong>\, </strong>Dublin Institute for Advanced Studies) as part of their Irish Research Council Project</p>\n<p><strong><a href="http://whenexpertsdisagree.ucd.ie/">When Experts Disagree</a></strong></p>\n<p><strong>&nbsp\;</strong></p>\n<p><strong>Conference Theme</strong></p>\n<p><strong>&nbsp\;</strong>Trust is the glue that binds our social interactions. Much of our social life\, particularly in technologically advanced societies\, is made possible through multi-level divisions of cognitive labour. Such divisions\, in turn\, lead to reliance\, on part of both individuals and policy makers\, on the testimony of trained experts in various fields. Indeed\, a high level of trust in expert opinion is necessary for the effectiveness of this division of cognitive labour\, even if such trust can never be unquestioning. A marked feature of recent political upheavals in Europe and the US is a breakdown of trust in experts. The conference aims to contribute to the understanding of the nature of trust and its connections with the trustworthiness of experts.</p>\n<p><strong>The conference explores the following topics</strong></p>\n<p>The nature and appropriate scope of epistemic trust</p>\n<p>Sources and conditions of trust and trustworthiness</p>\n<p>The question of trust in economics</p>\n<p>The role of trust in science</p>\n<p>The question of trust in climate science</p>\n<p>The breakdown of trust in expert opinion and its impact</p>\n<p>The rationality of trust and its limits</p>\n<p>The ethics of trust</p>\n<p>The role of media</p>\n<p>Trusting people vs. trusting institutions <br> </p>\n<p><strong>Key Note Speakers</strong></p>\n<p>Onora O&rsquo\;Neill (University of Cambridge\, Philosophy)</p>\n<p>Susan Owens (University of Cambridge\, Environment and Policy)</p>\n<p>Patrick Honohan (Trinity College Dublin\, Economics)</p>\n<p>&nbsp\;<strong>Invited Panel Speakers</strong></p>\n<p>Gloria Origgi (Institut Jean Nicod\, Philosophy)</p>\n<p>Etienne Parizot (Paris Diderot University\, Astrophysics)</p>\n<p>W.G. van der Meer (University of Amsterdam\, Politics)</p>\n<p>Judith Simon (University of Hamburg\, Philosophy)</p>\n<p>J.
