The Problem. In an increasingly information connected world, an understanding of scientific facts and engagement with the scientific community is more and more necessary. The scientist’s ability to effectively communicate their work and engage with the public is equally imperative. Professional academics and students often struggle to see the “big picture” and the impact of their work on society, and lack the tools to effectively communicate their work to policy makers, funders and the general public.

The Solution. The “Presenting Your Research Effectively and Attractively” Workshop is a response to this. This workshop will provide professional academics and students with an in-depth science communication training and give them opportunity to create content and material for public engagement. The objectives are to (a) give scientists practical tools and methodologies for future science communication activities, (b) empower them in future exchanges with non-scientists, and (c) build content as a community and bridge the divide between science and the public.

Who is this workshop for? The workshop is open to any scientist or student of the Berlin University Alliance interested in improving their science-communication and improvisation skills. The workshop provides participants with tools and insights into how to effectively communicate scientific results, and what kind of outlets (articles, videos, podcasts) are available to them to reach the desired target audience.
