Training to raise awareness of scientific outreach
Open to PhD students and available in the Graduate Research School's general training catalogue, these courses introduce them to the fundamentals and challenges of scientific outreach.
PhD students will:
- develop knowledge on scientific outreach (fundamentals, goals and functions)
- identify several classic public-facing scientific outreach activities
- discover graphic facilitation as a scientific outreach tool
- work on how to communicate science to non-specialist audiences and use tools to carry out effective and appropriate mediation activities
These training courses in scientific outreach are part of the University of Bordeaux's "Science with and for society" (SAPS) project which aims to:
- encourage the development of new forms of dialogue between science, research and society
- raise the public's awareness, as widely and as closely as possible, of scientific method and its value in terms of knowledge output
- co-construct the conditions for an ongoing debate on a local scale, leading to informed choices regarding major transition challenges
