Subject: Science Communication for Societal Impact Content:
Only three more weeks to go until our online course "Science Communication for Societal Impact" on October 4th - 7th 2022!
In order to address pressing issues such as the pandemic, climate change, poverty and more, it is crucial for science and society to close ranks, build trust, learn from each other and work together in order to tackle these societal challenges, and consider questions such as: What are strategies and practices that can help ensure that communications and engagement processes do not perpetuate inequities, that best-practices are followed, that trusting relationships are built and existing ones strengthened? How can we best monitor these communication endeavours, evaluate the success of their impact, and use this data to inform our next steps going forward to better optimise the impact of science through engagement?
For 4 half-days, our interactive online course will bring together professionals and stakeholders such as research administrators and managers, evaluators, science funders and policymakers within the impact and science communication field to support researchers in making their research more accessible through interactive training with the experts.
For more information and topics which will be discussed please check out our WEBSITE.
We look forward to welcoming you to this course in October!
This course is designed for:
Science communication strategists • Research Managers
Science practitioners • Science journalists • Policy-makers
Other professionals involved in science communication
& impact of science
Are you interested in joining the course but reside outside of GMT-GMT+8 time zones and are worried about scheduling?
This specialticket is available for anyone who is not able to join live due to the difference in time zones. It includes a discount in the ticket price, access to the recordings and presentations after the course, and a live Q&A session with a trainer at another time.
Confirmed trainers
Dr. Eric A Jensen is a Senior Research Fellow at the registered scientific and educational charity, The Institute for Methods Innovation, and works part-time as Associate Professor of Sociology at the University of Warwick. Specialising in evidence-based science communication, Jensen has 20 years’ experience in science communication research, evaluation and practice.
Dr. Dieudonnée van de Willige is a science communications advisor at Maastricht University, the Netherlands, where she works for the Faculty of Science and Engineering. She is also a board member of SciCom NL, a Dutch association for science communication. She is particularly interested in developments in academic culture and how these translate to the interactions between academics and communications professionals.
Temilade Sesan has a Ph.D. in Sociology and Social Policy from the University of Nottingham, UK. Her research interrogates the social, political and cultural dimensions of sustainable development initiatives in the areas of energy, waste management, transportation and urban planning – particularly as they intersect with issues of gender and informality in the sub-Saharan African context.
Jude Fransman is an academic researcher (with an honorary post at the UK’s Open University), a community activist and a writer. She has an interdisciplinary background spanning international/community development, education and science and technology studies. Her research focuses on community-based research, multi-stakeholder collaboration and the geo-politics of knowledge production.
