Advisory board
We’re appointing an advisory board of researchers from philosophy and neighbouring disciplines to advise on the network’s direction. Invitations are going out now, and members will be listed here once they’ve accepted.

We’re building a network of researchers across philosophy, economics, psychology, political science, computing science and public health who work on trust and expertise. If that’s you, we’d like to hear from you.
