Why a Network

Trust Research Needs More Than Researchers

A transdisciplinary science of trust cannot be built inside any single lab, field, or country. It requires the people who study trust, the people who design the systems that depend on it, and the people who govern those systems — working from a shared framework.

The Global TRUST Network is how that happens. It grew out of the inaugural Vienna meeting of fifteen world-leading trust researchers, and it is open to scholars and practitioners who share the Foundation's goals.
