The TiGRE project organised its first Stakeholder Forum meeting to present and discuss the results of our large-scale survey on trust in regulation. This meeting was organised online on 10 June 2021 and gathered multiple actors involved in the regulation of three high-value sectors: food safety, finance and data protection.

A short report summarising the key points discussed during the meeting is available for download here.

We are looking forward for the second Stakeholder Forum meeting: date, purpose and format will come in due time!

Discover our first summary for publication, including a description of the project and the results achieved in the first year of TiGRE.

On 10 June 2021, the TiGRE project organised its first Stakeholder Forum meeting to present and discuss the results of our large-scale survey on trust in regulation (read more about the survey here). This meeting has gathered several practitioners and actors involved in the regulation of three high-value sectors: food safety, finance and data protection.

Despite the online format, TiGRE members have engaged in a stimulating discussion with the invited practitioners.

We warmly thank all participants for their time, feedback and advice!

We are looking forward for the second Stakeholder Forum meeting: date, purpose and format will come soon!

Our fourth TiGRE Consortium Meeting CM4 was held on 10 and 11 June, as a virtual event due to the current COVID-19 pandemic. The progress achieved so far and the work for the coming months was discussed with all partners. In particular, UiO kindly shared the preliminary results coming out from our large-scale survey (read more about the survey here).

We also had the chance to discuss and receive feedback from our external advisors, Prof. Nikiforos Diamandouros (Academy of Athens), Prof. Itzhak Galnoor (Van Leer Jerusalem Institute), Anna Pietikainen (OECD Network of Economic Regulators) and Prof. Vincent Martenet (University of Lausanne).

“In this survey experiment we explore how different enforcement styles affect citizens’ trust in six countries in a rigorous way. The large scale of this cross-national experiment allows us to also explore contextual differences across countries and between domains”, says Dr. S. Grimmelikhuijsen, Associate Professor at Utrecht University.

A description of the TiGRE study on the drivers of citizens’ trust in regulatory agencies and regulated organisations has been developed and is available for download, as a single page, printer-friendly PDF info sheet.

Our large-scale survey, which closed on 29 March 2021, gathered approximately 1,500 responses from actors involved in the regulatory regimes of different sectors and countries covered by TiGRE: read our infosheet about the design of the survey here.

We are currently preparing and cleaning the large dataset, alongside a research report which will describe the trust relationships among actors and identify the drivers of trust dynamics.

We warmly thank all survey participants for their time and answers, which are crucial for the progress of the TiGRE project!

In order to assess social and political trust, we have systematically reviewed studies that address trust in government and trust in private or civil society actors. Based on this systematic review, we provide our first policy brief.
