Research Communication: Understanding media and journalism 26 January 2023 09:00 to 12:00
Why should I communicate my research? In this workshop, we'll step inside the newsroom and discuss how journalism works, what to think about when interacting with the media, and why you should take the chance to do it! You'll also get other handy tips on how to communicate your research in different ways and make a plan to do so. In this workshop, we will work with Understanding research communication, Learning about media, and Crafting your pitch.
This workshop is open to all early-career researchers at Lund University (i.e. Postdoc, Assistant Lecturer, PhD), as well as researchers from the Agenda 2030 Postdoc Excellence Programme, CEC, BECC, LU Land, and MERGE. Read more about the workshop at sustainability.lu.se |
