The courses offered by the Lund University Outreach Academy, which was launched last autumn, have been specially designed for researchers. These courses have been specifically designed for researchers who want to develop their ability to make their research comprehensible, relevant and engaging for different target groups – without compromising scientific quality.

Registration is now open for our spring courses – and there are still places available.
