Science Communication in Grant Proposals

This workshop is aimed at scientists who apply for funding for their research, especially postdocs. The seminar enables you to adequately reflect the topic of science communication in your grant applications and to implement the communication projects planned within the framework of your research proposals.

The workshop will cover essential basic principles of science communication. You will then develop your own concepts and strategies for the specific communication of your research projects. Thus, the training is designed to be interactive. Teaching content alternates with practical exercises and question-and-answer sessions. This seminar focuses on the section on science communication in grant proposals. It is not a general course on grant writing.
