How do elite core actors assess trust in national and EU authorities?

In this paper, we position generalised trust as central to the debate on elites’ assessments of trust in EU multi-level governance. We leverage one of the most influential factors in explaining political trust in single-government studies to understand variations in trust towards political authorities at various levels.

Development and Implementation of a Youth-Check for Berlin

The project engages with the development and introduction of a youth specific regulatory impact assessment tool (‘youth-check’) for the Federal State of Berlin. The project was introduced after the Berlin Senate passed a resolution in April of 2024 which approved the introduction and implementation of a youth-check for Berlin. The youth-check is a regulatory impact assessment tool that helps to raise awareness for the concerns of the young generation. The youth-check helps to visualise the effects of draft legislation on the young generation.
