Workshop: “An introduction to science communication” (7-8 May 2026)

There are still some free slots available in the online workshop “An Introduction to Science Communication” organized by the graduate school GGG on 7 and 8 May 2026. The teaching will be in the form of short interactive seminars, with breaks and games for students and time for questions and answers. It will give researchers an overview of the main elements of science communication, including the tools to successfully communicate your research more broadly plus useful tips and common pitfalls.

The workshop contains two sessions:

  • Session I: You will learn how to communicate your research to different audiences and what makes a good story. You will find out how journalists and the press operate.
  • Session II: You will consider developments in AI for supporting science communication as well as controversial topics and difficult questions, followed by different ways to be involved and tools that can support you – from science events to social media – plus what support you can get from the University. There will be time for questions and answers.

For actively participating in this workshop and a written reflection one earns 1 credit. It takes place online on the 7 and 8 May 2026 from 10:00 to 13:00 h.
