On 28 and 29 August, the University of Amsterdam (UvA) hosts the interdisciplinary, hybrid conference Amsterdam Trust Summit 2025, organised by the ‘Trust in the Digital Society’ Research Priority Area (UvA).

In recent years, trust has become one of the central concepts in the digital society. On the one hand, the trustworthiness of our information infrastructures, such as platforms, AI, encrypted communications emerged as a central concern. On the other hand, trust relations in the digital society, such as trust in expertise, science, news, or public institutions have been fundamentally disrupted.

Society is at a critical juncture, where these two challenges meet. There is no rightly vested trust in the digital society without trustworthy information-communication technologies. The Amsterdam Trust Summit invites researchers, practitioners, policymakers, and activists to come together and start building a comprehensive account of the trust dynamics in the digital society.

The conference will be held at the Roeterseilandcampus. Programme and registration are not yet available.
