New courses on science communication
Make your research easy to understand, present your findings in a compelling way, and convey a confident image to the media: ETH Zurich’s Corporate Communications department is once again offering the Communication Academy, where you can sharpen your science communication skills in a series of courses and webinars.
After strong demand for last year’s courses, Corporate Communications at ETH Zurich has decided to extend its Communication Academy course programme. With a series of workshops and webinars, we want to raise your awareness of the great opportunities and inherent risks of science communication also in the coming semester and help you communicate your research to lay audiences in a clear, compelling way.
The courses offered by the Communication Academy are aimed at doctoral students, postdocs and professors at ETH Zurich. Please only register if you truly intend to participate – otherwise you will deprive someone else of a place.
