The course aims to provide students with a basic understanding of how to communicate their research to different target groups, why this is necessary for good scientific practice and what can be done to achieve this. The course will introduce students to different forms of text suited for different types of science communication and provide them with an idea on what to take into account when writing materials for different purposes. Furthermore, it will introduce students to different tools and resources that are available to host their content in a persistent way and what different offerings like dedicated homepages, different content repositories and editable hubs for their research exist and provide them with the knowledge to select the correct tools for their demands.
Admission qualifications, Linguistic skills, Other requirements
Open to PhD students, young researchers and technicians with at least a master degree.
