Do you think it is important to talk about your research to a general audience? And would you like to learn how to do that effectively? Then we have a unique opportunity for you!
The Public Engagement Programme of Utrecht University is piloting a training series. In four afternoons, you will find your core message by learning how to pitch it to an 8-year-old, hone your blog-writing skills, learn about how and why public engagement is effective and which audience you can aim at, and how not to implode in front of a camera and a journalist. At the last evening, you will use your newly acquired skills to pitch the importance of your research to an audience of friends and family at Café Hofman. As this is a pilot, meant to develop a structural course for PhD’s, we will use your feedback to build this into an indispensable training for every PhD.
