Communicate with Impact
Open to current post-doctoral researchers funded or working with industry
Learn to recognise the differences in communication needs and expectations of technical vs. non-technical professionals. You will learn how to speak clearly and vividly about your research and why it matters, in ways that can engage varied audiences, including industrial partners.
The session will focus on strategies to communicate a compelling message to a range of audiences from the public, industry and to scientists in other disciplines. You will learn impactful communication tools and techniques used in academia, business and the dramatic arts and then apply the tools to your own research, crafting compelling communications for a range of audiences.
You will leave the workshop with more impactful communications for you research and a toolset to refine and enhance your communication strategy moving forward. The tools and skills will help you create compelling and persuasive research proposals and funding applications, deliver engaging presentations, have productive conversations with industry partners and investors and effectively engage with a wide range of community stakeholders.
