The Science and Society Research Group at the Ludovika University of Public Service
organised a conference in Budapest on 13 October 2023 titled: ‘Science and disinformation:
how science can support society against disinformation’. The conference explored the
complex relationship between science, society, and disinformation. A panel discussion
was held with the aim of examining the challenges and strategies for science communication
in the context of the ever-increasing issues of dis-/misinformation. The discussion
highlighted the multifaceted factors that influence public trust in science; the role
of digital culture on science communication and scientific knowledge production; the
impact of artificial intelligence; and the relationship between science and business
developments on science disinformation, especially on science-related conspiracy theories.
The participants helped shed light on how science communication strategies can be
improved to stabilise trust in a multi-stakeholder information environment. This article
summarises the main insights and conclusions from the discussion.
