More and more scientists are realising how important it is to make their research visible to a wider audience. Not only to inform, but also to show why their work matters: for society, the economy and our future.
Would you also like to show what your research contributes? In this training course, you will learn how to tell your story clearly, convincingly and in an appealing way.

Science communication in understandable language

In this writing training course, you will explore how to explain your research in understandable language — so that even non-scientists can understand its key points and importance. You will learn how to use creative text forms to increase the impact of your research: from blogs to press releases and opinion pieces.
You will practise writing in an accessible and inspiring way, without oversimplifying your content. You will also learn how to create news value, clarify technical language and choose the right tone for different target groups, from citizens to policymakers.
