Science communication training for researchers:

Planning research communications

It's tempting to only think about communications at the end of a project, but early planning can pay dividends.

This training session will help you to plan communications and engagement with audiences and enable your research to have the desired impact.

We’ll take you through identifying and shaping those messages, finding the correct target audiences, and finding all the opportunities to engage through the timeline of a project.

You’ll emerge from the session with a basic plan for your work and the support to refine it.

DELEGATE ON INTRODUCTION TO COMMUNICATING YOUR RESEARCH
I thought these sessions were excellent and the attendees got a lot out of them. Being given the opportunity to put the presentation information into practice and receive informed feedback from people who know what they’re talking about is invaluable.

Campus PR has vast experience of working with many institutions to achieve the best coverage for their research and this experience shone through with our one to one training sessions. I felt engaged immediately and could feel my confidence growing as each session developed.

Being able to spend time with individuals who have so much experience and success in higher education communications is a great opportunity for anyone starting out in the sector and I would thoroughly recommend they take up the opportunity.

JENNY WATKINSON, MEDIA RELATIONS OFFICER

The training really helped me to think about better techniques to aid in producing the best story. Definitely worthwhile!

LAUREN ASHTON, MARKETING & COMMUNICATIONS OFFICER

The training was very helpful and I’ve been using the concepts to rewrite some of my work (funding applications, articles, presentations, even emails). This workshop was far more engaging than similar sessions that I’ve attended.
