The ERC MOREV is about Motivated Reading of Evidence or why and how individuals sometimes read evidence in the way they "prefer" ?

Start date: February 2020. End date: January 2026. 

You can get an idea of the project on the Sciences Po website : https://www.sciencespo.fr/research/cogito/home/when-the-truth-is-inconvenient-or-motivating-reading-of-information/?lang=en
