The Centre for Research & Innovation Support (CRIS) has partnered with Nature Masterclasses to provide a no-cost, limited enrolment Masterclass focusing on communicating research to non-research audiences.
It is becoming increasingly important for researchers to be able to clearly communicate their research to a broader audience, such as the public, the press, and even funding organizations. However, communicating complex specialized findings in an understandable and general manner is challenging for many researchers. This workshop provides attendees with practical strategies on how to achieve this goal. Participants will engage with numerous interactive elements and activities in the session and a provided workbook will be available for the attendees to download before the workshop to further guide and deepen participants’ learning. Ample Q&A time is allocated for participants to work with the expert facilitator.
Please note that this is a limited enrollment workshop, and preference will be given to full-time and continuing appointment faculty members in the tenure stream.
Session Overview & Application Information: Interested faculty should submit their expression of interest by November 6th EOD 5:00pm EST. Participants will be notified of their participation status by mid-November.
Who should attend? Faculty who are interested in deepening and expanding their non-specialist communication skills in order to broaden the impact of their research and findings. Although we welcome scholars from all disciplines, this workshop will be most relevant to individuals working in STEM fields.
Date & Time: Wednesday, December 4th, 2024 | 8:45 – 4:30 pm
Location: CRIS Collaborative Space, 9 King’s College Circle, Gerstein Library
Featured Facilitator: Dr. Harry Shirley, Editorial Development Manager Nature Research
