This workshop is designed to identify and explore fresh avenues of research on political trust, and to devise new research projects capable of furthering scholarly and policy knowledge. By gathering a range of subject experts from across Europe and beyond, the workshop will provide a forum for (i) Discussing key research priorities in the study of political trust, (ii) Identifying and stimulating new networks among researchers and (iii) Generating new and innovative research proposals capable of extending our understanding on key issues around political trust. The workshop is thus designed to identify gaps in the scholarly knowledge base on political trust, and to design research networks and projects capable of filling these gaps.
