Workshop on Science Communication (PhD and post-docs)
Colloquium
Nikhef
Science communication is more than presenting scientific results at a conference or giving an outreach talk at a high-school. With the support for (fundamental) science and academia more and more under threat it is clear that beyond PR for a specific university, institute, group or individual scientist it is also important to talk about the role and impact of (fundamental) science and higher education in society. We realise that not all early career scientists feel the room (yet) to invest in these activities and/or have a clear idea where to start. This is unfortunate as that means we’re missing out on a lot of energy and ideas.
This is why Nikhef is organizing a so-called ‘A-topical lecture’ series on science communication, with the goal to provide post-docs and PhDs from Nikhef with a broader context, tools and potential opportunities to get involved.
Note: This workshop is not compulsory, i.e. only for those that want to join.
Expect an exciting program including:
- Why science communication matters and how to connect research with society.
- Hands-on communication skills, like public speaking and creating engaging science content.
- Inspiration from successful initiatives, including what Nikhef already offers and how you can get involved.
- Career opportunities and benefits, from recognition&rewards and funding to ways to participate in science communication at institutes and beyond.
