Scientific models can change the world, for better or worse.

Managing Performative Science seeks to ensure that these changes are for the betterment of society.

MAPS is a research project funded by the European Research Council through a starting grant (€1.5m) to Philippe van Basshuysen.

● The core aims of the project MAPS are:

1

to develop a novel understanding of what performativity is and can do, by closely following scientific practice

2

to understand the intricate relationship between science’s epistemic and performative roles, and to assess the ethical risks of performativity

3

to provide orientation to philosophers and practitioners for how to assess and manage performative science.

By integrating insights from scientific practice with philosophical assessment, the project will establish performativity management as a central theme of philosophical inquiry.
