Do you need to plan science communication for a project, an event, or even your whole organisation?

Have you been asked to develop a communication plan?

Not sure how to structure it?

How do you prioritise who to communicate with?

How do you design clear messages that won’t be misunderstood?

What indicators will tell you if you’re successful?

How do you choose the most effective communication methods?

If you need answers to any of these questions, then Econnect Communication’s one-day science communication workshop, specially designed for ASC conference delegates, is for you.

Good science deserves a good communication plan, and good communication takes careful planning.

This practical and lively 1-day workshop takes you through a 7-step process of planning your communication.

The workshop program will include case studies, discussion, presentations and planning exercises.

Participants have the opportunity to develop a skeleton communication plan for their project, event or organisation.

The 7-step process is a comprehensive approach to communication, based on our experience as science communicators for almost three decades. It covers target groups, messages, delivery and evaluation, and ends with an action plan to translate the day’s work into a workable program.

Each participant will be given a copy of our Planning Science Communication handbook.

Topics covered

• When should you communicate about a research project?
• With whom should you communicate?
• What do your target groups want from communication?
• How do you choose the most effective communication activities?
• How can you monitor and evaluate communication?
• How can you overcome some of the barriers to effective communication?
• What’s the best way to develop and implement an action plan?
