Courses in research communication
Do you want your research to reach a wider audience?
The Lund University Outreach Academy offers courses for those who want to be better at communicating their research beyond academia. The courses provide practical tools and support for reaching out to the public, media, decision-makers, funding bodies and collaboration partners.
The courses, which are an element in the Lund University Outreach Academy, have been specifically produced for researchers who want to develop the ability to make their research comprehensible, relevant and engaging for different target groups – without compromising scientific quality.
Subject to availability, the University’s communications officers are welcome to take part in the courses. Unless otherwise stated, all the courses are conducted in English.
