You book the date (Aug. to Oct. 2020) for the course when you have registered to it. This is a wake up call for communication. The course gives you tools to be well prepared for communicating your research to non experts. We use an interview and camera to test your skills. This knowledge is useful in all communication, such as trying to convince financiers and/or companies about your project. But also for preparing presentations, interviews in media or teaching. To get a professional message bank in a concrete research project we recommend the advanced course - step two.

The course will be given according to agreements with registered participant/s and the course provider in the period August to October 2020. 

When you have registered your interest to the course you will be contacted by the course provider.
