ECTS: 1

Communicating scientific results is an essential part of research. A significant aspect of this communication involves engaging public audiences. Therefore, science communication is a key skill that all PhD students must develop during their training. In this Summer School, you will learn about science communication through lectures, workshops, and by creating your own science communication product.

Topics include:

Storytelling
Different forms of science communication
Using AI for science communication
Misinterpretation by the media or public

Practical Work:
You will work alone or in small groups to develop a science communication product related to your research (or that of your group members). You will choose one form of science communication to focus on:

Written (e.g., blog post, article)
Spoken (e.g., science slam, podcast)
Visual (e.g., video abstract, social media clip)
At the end of the week you will prensent your product during our small science festival.
