The Corporate Communication has put together a package of training courses for researchers who want to develop their ability to make their research understandable, relevant and interesting to different target groups, without compromising on scientific quality.
"We have primarily utilised the expertise that already exists at the university, and this has been greatly appreciated," says Ulrika Oredsson, press and research communications officer and coordinator of the programmes.
On Friday, 13 March, an inspirational course will be held for the first time (there are still a few places left) on how to reach an international audience with the help of a simple mobile film. The course will be given by filmmakers and international press officers together with researchers who have personal experience of using film in their research communication.
