The round table will be preceded by introductory talks by the panel members, bringing to the table expertise on the state of trust in the Netherlands, in OECD countries as well as the academic literature.
Together with the audience, we will explore questions surrounding the drivers and consequences of trust in political institutions and what policy makers can do to address a lack of trust. We will also reflect on possibilities for cooperation between academic researchers, policy advisors and policy makers.
