Trainings in Science Communication and Public Engagement

Successful research today is characterized by openness, transparency and participation. Competencies in the area of public communication of research are not only relevant for career planning within and outside HEIs, but also for successful funding applications in the national and international context. An engaged dialogue with non-academic stakeholders is a particular challenge for young scientists.
