An interactive training course on how to communicate research produced as part of the Infra4NextGen project is now available.
This latest online course introduces the concept of science communication and offers easy to follow guidelines to help researchers promote their research effectively.
Split into three sections, there is a mixture of step-by-step tutorials, clips from project webinars and a series of quizzes.
The quizzes are for users to test their knowledge during each section but are not graded – they are there to check that users understand each section.
Section 1 introduces communicating research outputs effectively to non-academic audiences and explains how this might be possible.
Section 2 focuses on identifying audiences, visualising data in an interesting way, what the communication is trying to achieve and what channels to use.
Section 3 explains how to put the first two sections into practice.
The online training session takes under an hour to complete and is suitable for classroom teaching.
Users of this science communication training module are advised that they do not require any previous training to participate.
By the end of the module, participants will be able to understand the concept of science communication, identify which strategies are most suitable and apply methods to effectively reach target groups.
This is the second of four online training courses being delivered by CESSDA ERIC – Consortium of European Social Science Data Archives as part of the Infra4NextGen project.
Full recordings of all project webinars are available
