No previous knowledge is needed.

This activity is part of an interdisciplinary research project between the Universities of Nottingham, Oxford and Edinburgh called ReEnTrust, which explores new technological opportunities to enhance/re-build user’s trust, and identify how this may be achieved in ways that are user-driven and responsible.

The session involves interactive activities (paper-based) and friendly discussion. Participants’ contribution to this workshop will provide them, researches, regulatory bodies and society in general, a better understanding of what makes online platforms and services trustable.

What else will you gain for taking part?

• Develop your confidence and skills in team work, debate, and communication.
• Enhance critical thinking when making decisions online.
• To share your views and suggestions for change in relation to trust when using the Internet
• A valuable experience to add to your CV, job applications and personal statements
