Science Communication
The PR managers and science communication specialists will discuss, share, and disseminate strategies how to address the general public, press, students, and other specific audiences, how to organize events, and how to guide researchers in presenting their research and transmitting their knowledge to non-specialists. Learning how to demonstrate the practical impact of research to the general public is considered critical in order to achieve long-term support for the scientific endeavours in member institutions and their home countries.
