Scientists reaching out (NL)

How do you engage stakeholders and interested parties with your research?

Samenweten organizes workshops for early career researchers (PhD students and postdocs) of all fields to explore the broader societal context of your research. 

During the workshop you discuss with a diverse panel of scientists that are experienced in science communication as well as other experts in science communication and public engagement. Based on the panel discussion you receive tips on how you can more effectively interact with your target group and you learn what you can gain by engaging the general public with your research. 

During the workshop we will also do various excercises to address the questions:

• How is your research topic talked about in the public domain? 
• Which groups are most interested or concerned in these issues? 
• How to reach out to societal organisations?

The next workshop is planned for Friday January 28 9.30-12.30 hr online. Participation is free of charge. Scientists who are part of the Rewarded-program get priority in the admission.
