ENGAGE hosted an online training event on communication skills on September 15th 2023 hosted by Mrs. Delphine Chenevier, Head of Communications at ESRF in France. Mrs. Chenevier focused on science communication and how early-stage researchers can improve their communication skills to promote their research.
Abstract: Your research is finally out? Congratulations! But, let’s not forget that the research publication is not the end of the process, but the beginning of another one, also important: communication. Mastering communication, and all communications tools, especially social media, is now crucial to promote your research. Scientists themselves are sometimes embracing roles that were conventionally taken on by trained science communicators. But how to exist regarding the huge flow of communication generated on social media? How to engage with your audience? The ESRF’s communication Group has developed a digital strategy based on humanising science to reach new audience but also to engage people with science.
