Course description

In this course, doctoral students learn about the steps involved in planning research communication and they practice skills necessary for communicating research both within the academic community and in society at large. Doctoral students prepare a communication plan based on their own research material. This plan presents the purpose of communication, the framing of messages, the definition of target group, relevant channels (media, social media, etc.) and tools for communication. Moreover, doctoral students learn about the importance of adapting their message to different situations and of exploiting the means available to communicate in spoken or written form. Throughout the course, they practice giving presentations and writing a popular science article based on their research.

It is recommended that the PhD-student takes both courses in Research communication, i.e. "Reasearch communication, Researcher's role in Society" and "Research Communication in Practice"
