Workshop description:
The workshop will give researchers an overview of the main elements of science communication, including the tools to successfully communicate your research plus useful tips and common pitfalls. The teaching will be in the form of short interactive seminars, with breaks and games for students and time for questions and answers.

Session I

You will learn how to communicate your research to different audiences and what makes a good story. You will find out how journalists and the press operate.

Session II

We will consider controversial topics and difficult questions, followed by different ways to be involved - from science events to social media - plus what support you can get from the University. There will be time for questions and answers.


Testimonials by former participants:

The course was very helpful. I understood the relationship between press and science better.
The course revealed most of the aspects of Public Relationships Unit work. Quite useful for any scientist who even doesn't consider working with media directly. Nice relaxed atmosphere.
This course was a great opportunity for me to learn about reaching out to the public as a scientist.
This workshop introduces participants to public relations in a very concise and practical manner. Participants can bring in their own concerns and topics which are addressed in an immersive way.
