Information

Aims, contents and method of the course

Basic concepts of science communication will be presented: publics, strategies, tools, evaluation. The VU will be very interactive, with short weekly projects based on the content presented on a specific date to be discussed in the following session.
Students will gain experience in developing a variety of science communication projects in different formats and aimed at different publics, either working in groups or independently.

Assessment and permitted materials

Every lecture there will be a short introduction to a specific subject: strategies, tools, evaluation. With this information, students should develop a short project/home work to be handed in a week later. Some short projects will be presented at the beginning of each lecture. Active participation and feedback is very important.

Active participation (peer feedback and comments during lectures) - 30%
Small projects (7 in total) during the semester - 10% each

Examination topics

There will be continuous examinations during the semester. Information given during the course, reading material, and participation during the lectures will be part of the examination.
