The answer can be found in the effectiveness of science communication, by telling your story in the right format for the respective audience, such as the academic community, policymakers, funding bodies, and especially the general public.
This workshop provides practical insights and specific strategies for communicating your research clearly, confidently, and effectively—whether in conversations with journalists, on social media, or in direct dialogue with the public.
The University Communications Unit at the University of Greifswald and the Communication and Marketing Unit at University Medicine Greifswald will introduce their support services and invite participants to exchange ideas. Whether you are just starting to explore science communication or already working on specific projects, bring your questions and make use of this opportunity for exchange and networking.
WHAT? The lecture series "Managing research" (https://www.uni-greifswald.de/en/research/research-service-and-practice/research-support-centre/managing-research/) provides a comprehensive overview of how to initiate your first postdoctoral research project and the building blocks for a successful application and implementation.
