How does your research impact on society? How can social media engage the public? How can you communicate your work better?
The British Science Association invites you to a one-day training workshop that will develop your public engagement skills and your understanding of the impact of research.
Why attend?
- gain confidence in engaging the public with your research
- develop your understanding of the place of science within society and the impact of your work
- become aware of existing public engagement platforms
- learn about how social media can be used to communicate science
- find your research ‘hook’ – what’s the most exciting thing about what you do?
Through various practical activities, you will explore your work’s impact on society, improve your communication skills and receive direction on how to engage with different audiences.
The workshop fee includes all resources, a full day’s tuition with experienced practitioners and refreshments throughout the day. The workshop is organised and run by the British Science Association’s Science in Society team
