The 9th edition of SCOPE: Science of Politics - International Interdisciplinary Conference of Political Research (19-21 September 2024, University of Bucharest, Romania) is dedicated to the exploration of TRUST.
From climate change to the COVID-19 pandemic and subsequent infodemic, and from the Russian invasion of Ukraine to the recent multiple turmoil points in the Middle East, various crises keep the issue of trust in politics high on both the national and international public agendas. As new digital technologies, especially Artificial Intelligence (AI), are increasingly present in the public space, so are the concerns about the distortions of reality for political and / or economic purposes which may radically alter the democratic landscapes and even the very fabric of contemporary societies. At the same time, such substantive issues cannot be fully grasped and tackled without addressing the contemporary dynamics of trust as topic of political research, without investigating their connection to democratization processes, human rights concerns, or their international impact and socio-economic implications, and without exploring the connection between research and public policies.

Like for all previous editions, with the support of the Research Committee 33 (The Study of Political Science as a Discipline) of the International Political Science Association (IPSA), the conference also includes a special section dedicated to debating current challenges in our discipline. Celebrating 160 years since the modern establishment of the University of Bucharest, SCOPE 2024 also marks the International Day of Peace (21st of September) with a special event that brings together diplomats and scholars to debate on current international affairs and trust in international relations dynamics.
