20410580 - Education & Outreach, the communication of science

To provide the student with the basic concepts of communication, such as techniques for public speaking and for the preparation of presentation materials and scientific communication texts. To acquire skills on the design and implementation of communication products (images, audio, video) and on the Communication Plan (plan to organize the communication of an event or scientific project).

Curriculum

teacher profile | teaching materials

Programme

This course is based on the use of case studies, intersting examples of science communication that will be presented and analysed during the lessons.

On the examples of these case studies, communication laboratories and practical activities will be organized. Students will work in team, guided by researchers and professional communicators, to plan and produce specific communication tools (articles, websites, blogs, audio/video etc).

The course will also take in account the technological aspects related to communication, introducing and examining selected open source software.

The program

The course is 52 hours long, including 40 ore of lessons and 12 hours of lab activities. 12 hours are in common with the “Communcating Science” PhD course.

• The postulates of communication: from body language to the communication plan
• About science communication: why should we communicate science?
• Different types of communication, including in the academic & research world
• Planning an event for the public: the 5 steps strategy
• Visual communication and science

Speaking to the public about science
• Introduction to verbal communication: from public talks to press conferences
• The basics of public speaking in science
• Slides, audio/video and multimedia tools

Type of delivery of the course

The proposed training course is based on the concept of case study: specific examples and topics selected for their scientific and media interest will be presented. Around the case studies, the course will be organized with laboratory teaching: real communication laboratories will be created in which students, working in teams and guided by researchers and professionals of scientific communication, will analyze the specific example and design and implement a series of specific communication tools (scientific dissemination articles, websites, blogs, interviews and audio/video etc). The training course will also have a technological imprint, taking into consideration the new multimedia technologies applied to communication, presenting, using and integrating software and open source solutions available at the moment.

Type of evaluation

The exam consists in a discussion of the final outcomes of the workshops and an oral interview

On the examples of these case studies, communication laboratories and practical activities will be organized. Students will work in team, guided by researchers and professional communicators, to plan and produce specific communication tools (articles, websites, blogs, audio/video etc).

The course will also take in account the technological aspects related to communication, introducing and examining selected open source software.

The program

The course is 52 hours long, including 40 ore of lessons and 12 hours of lab activities. 12 hours are in common with the “Communcating Science” PhD course.

Type of delivery of the course

The proposed training course is based on the concept of case study: specific examples and topics selected for their scientific and media interest will be presented. Around the case studies, the course will be organized with laboratory teaching: real communication laboratories will be created in which students, working in teams and guided by researchers and professionals of scientific communication, will analyze the specific example and design and implement a series of specific communication tools (scientific dissemination articles, websites, blogs, interviews and audio/video etc). The training course will also have a technological imprint, taking into consideration the new multimedia technologies applied to communication, presenting, using and integrating software and open source solutions available at the moment.

Type of evaluation

The exam consists in a discussion of the final outcomes of the workshops and an oral interview
