About

The Science Communication Courses will equip participants with the tools to effectively communicate their research to the public. Delivered through online workshops between October 2024 and July 2025, each course will be provided by a different partner within the Transform4Europe (T4EU) alliance, focusing on key aspects of science communication.

The initiative aims to increase both the creation and consumption of scientific content, making it more accessible to global audiences. By improving communication skills, academics and students can better present their work to the public, fostering a greater understanding of science worldwide.

The Science Communication Courses will begin with the ‘Around Writing Series’, a series of 3 workshops open to the participation of any PhD student belonging to any university of the Transform4Europe Alliance. The first edition of this series is dedicated to three foundational and initiation topics around writing:

Session 1. ‘Feedbacking’ me & my writing: the power of clearly communicating what works and what doesn’t work for you;

Session 2. Designing your own home brew system: note taking & reading for writing (and not the other way around!);

Session 3. A.I. & You: effective prompts for ChatGPT, authenticity, and creativity in scientific writing.

Application Deadline: 21 October via this registration form: https://cados.ucp.pt/aws-cados-t4eu-2024
