Sharing Your Research Beyond Academia – with a Special Focus on the Media

Are you researching a topic that is often in demand by the media – or one you believe should attract media interest? This short training course is designed for researchers who want to practice presenting their work in a popular science format. While the focus is on reaching out via the media, the skills you develop will also be useful in other public outreach contexts.
The training consists of two parts: a joint morning session with a lecture and practical exercises, followed by individual on-camera interview training in small groups.
Part 1 – November 27, 9:00–12:00
A lecture on public outreach with exercises
- Lund University in the media

Part 2 – November 27 (afternoon) or November 28 (morning or afternoon)
Time required: approx. 2 hours
Interview training
