Spring Meeting 2025: Communicating with non-experts for CAPHRI PhD students 

 

Dear fellow PhD’s,

We’re excited to invite you to join us for an engaging online workshop on IMPACT! Conversations where we’ll dive into the art of communicating with non-experts!

Date: 09 April 2025
Time: 10:00 - 12:00 (GMT+1)
Location: online

Modern scientists need to be able to communicate with non-experts about their scientific work, in order to increase their societal impact and to further their career. These non-experts may be industry, civilians, farmers, patients, policy makers, journalists or even colleagues. Targeted storytelling has a positive effect on networking, on your cooperation with multidisciplinary colleagues and on writing grants and presenting science.

In this workshop you will practice choosing specific messages and stories for specific target groups. The participants interview each other and help each other filter out the most important elements. We test the quality of your story using the 6 Cs. We help you embellish it with strong metaphors, one-liners and examples.

The workshop will be led by ElroyCOM Training, a registered CRKBO educational institute that specializes in training scientists. All their trainers and actors have an academic degree and international experience.

Please register by April 1st to secure your place. We look forward to your participation in this valuable session.

The PhD-reps,

Diogo, Chrissy, Quincy, Giselle, Esther, Anne and Nienke
