ponedeljek, 14. oktober 2024 Priložnost za PhD študente:T4EU tečaji o komuniciranju znanosti | Opportunity for PhD students: T4EU Science Communication Courses

*English below

Tečaji komuniciranja znanosti bodo udeležence opremili z orodji za učinkovito obveščanje javnosti o svojih raziskavah. Med oktobrom 2024 in julijem 2025 bodo potekali v obliki spletnih delavnic, vsak tečaj pa bo vodil drug partner v okviru zavezništva Transform4Europe (T4EU) in se osredotočal na ključne vidike znanstvenega komuniciranja. 

    

Cilj pobude je povečati tako ustvarjanje kot tudi porabo znanstvenih vsebin in jih narediti bolj dostopne svetovnemu občinstvu. Z izboljšanjem komunikacijskih spretnosti lahko akademiki in študenti bolje predstavijo svoje delo javnosti, kar spodbuja boljše razumevanje znanosti po vsem svetu. 

Format 

Vsaka delavnica bo trajala 3 ure, udeleženci pa bodo na njej spoznali vrsto tehnik, zemljevidov in razlikovanj, s katerimi bodo lahko razmišljali, kritično razpravljali, delili svoje izkušnje, predvsem pa eksperimentirali, izkusili in prakticirali izzive v zvezi z izbranimi tremi temami: Povratne informacije; beleženje in branje za pisanje; umetna inteligenca v znanstvenem pisanju. 

Zahteve 

  • Splošne zahteve: Vsaka delavnica je samostojna. Udeležba na vseh je torej vabilo in ne zahteva. 
  • Jezikovne zahteve: Ta serija zahteva znanje angleškega jezika. 
  • Tehnološke zahteve: Računalnik z dobro internetno povezavo za dostop do ZOOM-a, deljenje in komunikacijo z udeleženci.

Description 

The Science Communication Courses will equip participants with the tools to effectively communicate their research to the public. Delivered through online workshops between October 2024 and July 2025, each course will be provided by a different partner within the Transform4Europe (T4EU) alliance, focusing on key aspects of science communication.  

The initiative aims to increase both the creation and consumption of scientific content, making it more accessible to global audiences. By improving communication skills, academics and students can better present their work to the public, fostering a greater understanding of science worldwide. 

Format 

Each workshop will last 3 hours, with participants being exposed to a set of techniques, maps, and distinctions to think about, critically discuss, share their experiences, and, above all, experiment, experience, and practice the challenges concerning the selected three topics: Feedback; Note-taking and Reading for Writing; A.I. in scientific writing. 

Requirements 

General Requirements:  

  • Participants must have had experience with scientific writing to participate in this series. Prior training in academic writing and skills is not a requirement.  
  • Each workshop is autonomous. Participation in all of them is, thus, an invitation, not a requirement. 

Language Requirements:  

  • This series requires proficiency in English.  

Technological Requirements:  

  • A computer with good Internet connection to access Zoom, share and communicate with participants.
