Information

Aims, contents and method of the course

Basic concepts of science communication will be presented: public, 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 audiences, either working in groups or independently.

Assessment and permitted materials

In every lecture there will be a short introduction to a specific subject: strategies, tools, evaluation. With this information, students should develop a short project/homework 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.
